Project Description

This project aims to recreate a small computer game that we played in highschool; it was called "Slime Games". However it ran as a Java applet and so no longer exists on the modern web.

I aim to recreate the basic functionality of the game, where two players can play football against each other (locally) using the same keyboard.

The aim is to recreate this game in WebGL, using WebAssembly.

Implementation details

I will write the game logic in C with the OpenGL API, which then can be transpiled to WebAssembly that calls the WebGL API, using the compiler Emscripten.

Goal for this Hackweek

The goal for this HackWeek is to get the basic game functionality running, where two players can play football against each other locally.
