bullet_heck_gleam

A gleam rewrite of a bullet hell style game my friend and I made in college. The goal is mainly for myself to use gleam on a larger/more creative project. Uses p5js bindings for running the project as a web game.

How To Play

Controls

• Use the arrow keys or WASD to move
• Press "space" to jump
• Press "shift" or hold down the mouse button to fire bullets
• Press "R" to restart

Features

• Levels are procedurally generated
• Enemies use A* to find their way toward the player
• Enemies avoid walls, pits, obstacles, and each other
• Enemies jump over pits when convenient and possible based on current velocity
• Enemy behaviors utilize behavior trees (patrolling until they spot the player, then chasing the player, and firing if within range)
• The player can jump over pits and enemies, but not over obstacles
• Pits instantly kill the player
• After getting hit, the player is briefly invulnerable to avoid continuous damage
• If the player kills all enemies in a room, they will be spawned in the next randomly-generated room

Development

This project is using esgleam for bundling the project into a web page.

gleam run -m esgleam/bundle

This works really nicely with watchexec for local dev

Terminal 1:

watchexec -e gleam gleam run -m esgleam/bundle

Terminal 2:

gleam run -m esgleam/serve
