Page content
UPDATED ON: 2025-11-20
Dangerous Dave in space is a small demonstration of JavaScript capabilities.
Control Dave in wacky space riding green glowing blob by means of arrow keys.
More stuff to come (why we have only 24h per day?).
▀ GFX NICETIES
- double backdrop, second one is moving and rotating with transparency
- random blinking and moving stars upon startup
- “raining” moving stars from top to bottom
▀ TODO PLANS
- make Dave draggable by mouse
- make Dave leave trace while moving
- scale Dave when he is going up/down to show perspective
- implement space bar fire
- add sounds to start, shot and backdrop ambience
- mprove performance if it is possible
▀ DONE STUFF
- make Dave to turn arround to the direction he is heading to
- random starting location of blinking stars, they also should change their formation upon blinking
▀ TECHNICAL DETAILS
Ultra low-budget i3-3220 from 2013 runs it quite decently.
Turn off some planet orbits [or turn them off completely] in markup to improve performance by a big margin.
