Kred Invaders

It's space invaders for the digital payments age!

This is essentially a space-invaders implementation utilizing CraftyJS that ended up teaching me quite a bit about Javascript, working on open-source projects and how to do unspeakable things using Middleman.

I want to play the thing!

If you've missed the link, here it is again.

I want to build the thing!

By all means, though there's no "building" per-se involved.

Prerequisites

You're going to need a few things to get the project up and running:

1. Ruby
2. Bundler

Actually running the thing

All you have to do is clone the repo and run the following in the resulting folder:

bundle install

Once that's done, just run:

bundle exec middleman

and you should be able to reach the game by navigating to http://0.0.0.0:4567

(Your mileage my vary depending on your OS, but this should work even on Windows)

How did you make the thing?

Here are the various tools I used to make Kred Invaders:

• CraftyJS - A snazzy component-based HTML5 game framework with an amazing group of maintainers and a great community.
• MiddleMan - Still my go-to solution for static websites.
• Aseprite - Cross-platform pixel editor that is simply a delight to use. Use it and be delighted.
• Bfxr - For all those bleeps and bloops.
