It's quite simple actually, i have a function called explode_tile_chain(x, y) which triggers a chain reaction of tile explosions, which just removes the tile, spawns particles and sets a timer for triggering explode_tile_chain(...) on the nearby tiles.\r<br\/>You can search for &quot;explode_tile_chain&quot; in the source code at http:\/\/frigolit.net\/compo\/ld26\/game\/main.js for details.

Other than that there are blocks that disappear under your feet and checkpoints to respawn at, that's about it.\r\nThe game consists of four levels and possibly a secret level...\r\n\r\nThe game is made from scratch in JavaScript using HTML5 canvas, so it requires a modern browser (tested primarily in Chrome). jQuery is used for handling some initialization and window resizing, other than that there are no special libraries used.\r\nAll the graphics and levels are done in Photoshop. A level conversion script written in Pike converts the images into level files (JSON).\r\n\r\nCurrently there's no sound but hopefully I'll have time to add that as well.\r\nThe game has taken ~14 hours to make.\r\n\r\nFull source will be available on github.\r\nEnjoy! :)<\/p>","title":"Minia"}
