Game im developing in Javascript / HTML5 : LazerLazer
Hi all,
Busy developing a space shooter using Javascript and HMTL5 canvas
No jQuery or any other libraries - im doing this with plain old javascript.
At the moment its very basic - just a ship that can fly around and an asteroid field that you can shoot.
Will be working on adding additional weapons, bad guys and a really overkill boss at the end.
Also, will be using my web dev skills to add an online leaderboard.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have been involved in web development for almost 2 years and decided to see what i could do with javascript :)
One last thing - the canvas size is rather large - so you should at least have a monitor with a resolution of over 1366x768
if not then press CTRL and MINUS together to zoom out so it will fit in the browser properly.

I gave it a play quickly. Like you say, it's still very basic, but here are my thoughts on it.
At the very start I had some issues with sprites disappearing and random stuff happening. I later realized that there was some kind of downloading still happening. I'm not sure why/how this works but it was very weird to play and I almost gave up trying.
Here is a list of wants:
- To be able to use the arrow keys rather than WASD
- Feedback for when my ship gets hit
- Sounds that is not so loud...almost blew out an ear drum. 0.o
Other than that I dig the little ship, especially the slight tilt it has when moving sideways. I also liked the music. :)
Keep it up! :)
Good luck with it! :)
Thanks guys,
Ill add a preloader for the game - been testing it locally on my laptop and everything loads immediatly.
ill add arrow keys and some sounds for when the ship gets hit. also will add that things blow up when they die
and work on the sound levels.
Regards,
Jason
