Trumper Tantrum

Inspiration

Donald Trump. Need I say more?

What it does

A 2D side-scrolling game follows Donald Trump's quest for the White House

How to play

Use 'a','w','d' for movement. Collect all of Trump's hair while defeating his enemies by throwing wads of money at them (because that's how you deal with your problems when you're rich). Use 'q' to throw money. Be careful your ego doesn't drop too low! Use 'r' to yell absurdities and boost your ego.

How I built it

I build it in 100% JavaScript with Node.js (the one true dev language) and enchant.js, a minimalist game engine. And it's deployed on an EC2 instance on AWS.

Challenges I ran into

Rosie O'Donnell and Megyn Kelly

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

It works!

What I learned

I've never made a game like this before, on any platform, so I learned a lot teaching myself the game mechanics and reading the source code of enchant.js because it's easier to read than the documentation.
