This is great! Super nostalgia.
Also -- anyone who doesn't know how the original light guns worked, it's worth a read. This crowd will likely appreciate the solution.
1. Awesome and well done!
2. But it doesn't have the classic "win" sound that I remember so fondly :(
3. Prepare to be destroyed by Nintendo
Great job, this is kid tested and approved. My 12yo son, who plays a lot of FPS games discovered how bad he is using the trackpad on my MacBook Pro. It was a lot of fun seeing him as frustrated at the laughing dog as I was in 1986 on my NES.
nice!
kaplay is underrated as a game engine imho, especially for teaching. It's intuitive and quite simple, and the web playground has some assets built in so it's immediately ready to go.
I put my mouse against the screen but it didn't make me better at aiming in this version of the game unfortunately ;)
Thank you for letting us relive this moments of childhood!
The Score and Round text rendered strangely in Firefox for me, but worked great in Chrome.
It was amusing to realise the duck flight patterns use the same logic as the DVD logo.
Awesome game, one of my favorites from my childhood.
I got 9100 points, was going great until level 9 where it all fell apart.
Love it - I'm sure our old tube TV still has scratches from when I used to get too excited as a kid and pressed the NES zapper directly against the glass.
I'm also a big fan of re-purposing sprite sheets from old video games - years ago I wrote a little edutainment game called "Aladdin's Mathemagical Flying Carpet" to help teach my little brothers the multiplication tables.
