SPACE BLASTER
This game was created for Langjam Gamejam, in a custom language made during the jam!
The game and its language are open-source on GitHub.
A very very simple space bullet-hell shoot-em-up. Don't get hit!
Controls:
- Up/Down - Movement
- Z - Shoot, start game
Here's an example of how the language created for the game looks.
All of the logic, graphics, and sound are defined in the code.
You can find a full reference here, going over all of the language features and its programming model.
entity Player {
use Positional;
tick {
if (Input.right_pressed()) {
@x = @x + 1;
(sound { 0.01: A }).play();
}
}
draw {
return sprite {
##.
###
##.
};
}

Having the sprites encoded as characters is very clever!
I like that language! Excited to see someone using rust to implement the language.
Also, very good game execution, the player death explosion animation is awesome.
