This project is a study case focused on learning game programming principles using the L Game as a practical example. The goal is to teach and explore various aspects of game development, including:
- Pixel Art: Drawing 2D sprites in a Isometric Pixel art style.
- Sound Design: Composing background music and sound effects.
- 2D Transitions: Smooth and responsive movements for game objects and animations.
- Game Juice: Enhancing player experience with polished feedback like visual effects, animations, and sounds.
- Game programming: Implementing a turn-based system with validation and AI logics allowing players to compete agains computer-controlled opponents.
- Network Programming: Implementing multiplayer functionality via WebSockets, allowing players to connect and play over the internet.
The game offers multiple modes of play:
- Versus Bots (
/
): Play against two levels of AI difficulty. - Local Multiplayer
: Two players can compete on the same device. - Online Multiplayer
: Play over the internet (requires setting up this simple WebSocket Server if my host is unavailable).
The L Game is played on a 4x4 board 
. Each player controls an L-shaped piece (
/
), which occupies 3 squares. On each turn, players:
- Move their L-shaped piece (
/
) to a new valid position. - Optionally move one of the two neutral pieces (
) to block the opponent.
A player loses if they cannot move their L-shaped piece on their turn.
