• You can move the player character with the arrow keys [up, down, left, right].
• Pressing shift + arrow Keys makes your player character move faster.
• Pressing the space bar allows your player character to attack slime.
• If player is within proximity of any slime character, the slime will start following to attack.
• Potions can be picked up, they heal you +50 each. Spawned randomly.
• Number of enemies are spawned randomly.

Under the Hood

JDS uses the HTML 5 Canvas API and JavaScript (ES6) without transpiling. A couple of classes exist which can be extended to add additional features to the game.

Classes:

• Audio - handles audio resources
• Debug - handles debugging functions. Example: Debug.collision()
• Engine - handles main game engine logic
• Entity - template for building entities - supports sprite animation.
• Game - handles the game logic as the composer, putting everything together.
• Resources - handles loading of image resources.
• Screen - handles screens such as intro, winning, losing, etc.
