| If you like terminal games, you might be interested in my Bash Arkanoid clone! It's packed with cool text graphics, animations, sound effects, paddle acceleration, side spin, and power-ups. Clone, inspect, play with Q and P keys. https://github.com/zenoamaro/arkanoid.sh I employed a number of tricks. The ones I am particularly proud of are: - The title screen, which uses the iconic old-school wavy text effect. To make this fast in Bash, I ended up precomputing the table of sin that determines the offset of each slice: https://github.com/zenoamaro/arkanoid.sh/blob/master/src/tit... - The rendering system required to get all this to run a smooth, consistent 60fps on both linux and macs, without blocking key reading. It sends itself an ALRM signal trap to run the game loop in a co-process, much similarly to how it's usually done with `requestAnimationFrame`: https://github.com/zenoamaro/arkanoid.sh/blob/master/arkanoi... - The deferred frame-buffer drawing mode: https://github.com/zenoamaro/arkanoid.sh/blob/master/src/gfx... Hope you enjoy it :) |
