In particular you really need a mouse and keyboard (a touchscreen or touchpad probably won't cut it). Also, having just tested the game on my laptop, I just realised that 1280x720 is a pretty silly resolution to fix things at for a browser game. Showing my inexperience there. ;)\r\n\r\n------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nYou don't want any clever arty hipster musings on the ephemeral nature of existence.\r\n\r\nYou want TEN SECONDS OF BULLET HELL.\r\n\r\nAnd it's RIGHT HERE!\r\n\r\nThe Ten Ten Seconders is named after the 2000AD series \"The Ten Seconders\". It's the first game I've completed for an LD (this is my second go), and is written in Javascript using my own framework.\r\n\r\nYou and nine other ships are given ten seconds of action each and left to it. Your remaining time is displayed on your ship.\r\n\r\nWASD moves and the mouse aims and fires.\r\n\r\nMoving costs you time, shooting costs you more time, but hits gain you time. Moving and hits also give you points.\r\n\r\nNo real graphics and no real sound (yay for sfxr!). I did half-write a tune but the game doesn't really last long enough to use it. ;) I was also thinking of giving each of the nine AI opponents different personalities, and adding some powerups like bullet wrap, extra time, etc. But the girlfriend and I have just killed a bottle of wine between us and I think I'll only make things worse. ;)\r\n\r\nPretty happy with what I've done. Yes, the code's a mess, but it helped me see what extra tech I need and I'll redo it properly over the next week ready for next time.\r\n\r\nUPDATE 1:\r\n\r\n* Fixed some keyboard issues with other browsers.\r\n* Got sound working (badly) on IE.\r\n* Sped up the rendering by replacing all context save\/restore pairs with setTransform. This doesn't appear to have helped Safari however. :(\r\n","title":"The Ten Ten Seconders"}
