SIGNAL // ARCADE INDEX by mineiwik

[raw]
made by mineiwik for Ludum Dare 59 (JAM)

The arcade is a single browser app shaped like a CRT terminal. The index is a "library card" of seven games; each one sits in its own SvelteKit route so you can hot-swap between cartridges without reloading. We split work along the SIGNAL theme deliberately โ€” every game is the same word turned a different way:

  • Routing it through circuitry (Signal Grid)
  • Weaving it with a partner (Signal Weave)
  • Patching it through a 1962 switchboard (Signal Cross)
  • Racing it through tracks of relays (Signal Surge)
  • Decoding it off a 3D tabletop (Deconstruct)
  • Hiding inside it in a haunted relay station (Dead Air)
  • Flashing it across reefs from a lighthouse (Semaphoria)

All multiplayer cartridges share the same shape: open channel โ†’ copy code or link โ†’ BEGIN. PeerJS gives us serverless WebRTC; URLs of the form ?room=CODE auto-join when opened.
