LightSpeed JS is a JavaScript port of a text-based space-exploration game built in originally in Java, played through the console. While the JavaScript edition features some primary functionality, due to time constraints the amount of content and gameplay decisions have been cut down to ensure everything works as it should and delivers an acceptable level of quality. The original product started as a project back in 2020 for a Java intro course, being an adaptation of an even earlier project, meant to demonstrate the use of loops, string methods and mathematic functions such as random number generation and rounding on various primitve data types.
Cut features:
- High score (page loads in example scores with AJAX)
- Obstacles
- Vessel Info + Damage (Tied to Obstacles)
