Bron's army vs the Russians! Who will win? A turn-based tank battle game built with modern web technologies.
Tank Squared is a turn-based tank strategy game in development in parallel with HTTP_C, a web server and messaging system built in C.
In Tank Squared, players command tanks, adjust movement, and fire projectiles using realistic physics simulations. Each turn challenges you to outmaneuver and outshoot your opponent, whether it's the AI enemy or other players in future versions.
This project combines PixiJS for graphics rendering and Planck.js for physics simulation, providing a foundation for destructible environments, tank customization, and immersive gameplay.
- ✔️ Projectile motion mechanics
- ✔️ Collision detection (ground and player)
- ✔️ Turn-based gameplay loop
- ✔️ Basic enemy tank behavior
- ✔️ Movement detection via Planck.js
- ✔️ Functional start screen
- ✔️ Terrain destruction
- ✔️ Procedural terrain generation
- ✔️ Enhanced physics (motor speed, friction, etc.)
- ⬜ Expanded tank properties
- ✔️ Health bars and death states
- ✔️ Damage detection
- ⬜ Multiple screens (pause, settings, etc.)
- ⬜ Refined player edges in Planck.js
- ⬜ Revamped shooting controls
- ⬜ Object cleanup and redundant deletion
- ⬜ Optimized game loop
