Typewriting games

Starting from 2021, I have been working on typewriting games out of my own volition.

All of these are made with the intent to be played in a browser, so I used HTML, CSS and JavaScript languages. However, tools and libraries that were used are subjective to each version.

2021 version

This was quickly abandoned in the same year, as I forgot about it.

I recycled my helper/engine from filerecv-game and started making my game from that. (Therefore, it is vanilla JS.)

There is only one level, and it does not go anywhere beyond that.

I drew all assets using Krita and recorded myself hitting keycaps on my keyboard using Audacity.

2022 version

I began working on it in 2022 and is still in development. I wish not to disclose any close details.

I am drawing assets using Aseprite, designing sound effects and making music using FL Studio and/or Tenacity (which is a fork of Audacity).

Engine

I decided to create another helper/engine, which would utilize parent-child system of states/components.

Every component can have its own events for both the mouse and the keyboard, as well as its own bounding box. Components can be used as "entities", "enemies" and "hitboxes", as well as buttons, text, or other GUI elements.

A state is based on the component object. It can be utilized by the "container" to render the viewport. The "container" can render only one state at a time.

It was written using TypeScript, Vite and other libraries, as I wanted not only to be more careful when working on this, but also to work on this with a bit ease.

Before I knew that I would be actually dedicating my time towards this game, I have released it to the public. It can be accessed here: https://github.com/be195/eng.ts.
