Paperboy. I wanted to make a simple browser version, where the player \"shoots\" the newspaper and avoid cars and rocks. But still keeping some of the arcade from the 80's nostalgia. \n\n## Technical Requirements\n\n- Render a game in the browser.\n- Have logic for winning and/or losing and show feedback to the player in either case:\n- The game must have logic that allows the player to win or lose.\n- The game code must be organized in separate files for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.\n- Use plain JavaScript for DOM manipulation.\n- The game entities and elements must be organized using classes and OOP.\n\n## The Game (Paperboy, released 1985)\n\n*Paperboy* is an arcade action game developed and published by Atari Games, released in 1985. The player controls a paperboy on a bicycle delivering newspapers along a suburban street. The player attempts to deliver a week of daily newspapers to subscribing customers, attempts to vandalize non-subscribers' homes, and must avoid hazards along the street. Subscribers are lost by missing a delivery or damaging a subscriber's house. If the player loses all of their lives, or runs out of subscribers, the game ends.\n\n![ARC_Paperboy](https://github.com/donxito/game_paperboy/assets/96595540/c7c3641c-7c7a-4612-b10d-4f695b097e6d)\n\n\n# Project Planning\n\n- **Player Movement:** Implement basic player movement controls for driving the bike on the game canvas.\n- **Obstacles:** Introduce obstacles (cars and rocks) that the player needs to avoid while riding the bike.\n- **User Input:** Handle user input for controlling the bike's movement and allowing the player to throw newspapers.\n- **Game State:** Keep track of the player's position, the position of obstacles, and the score.\n- **Rendering:** Render the game elements on the web page using the HTML canvas and update the display based on the game state.\n- **Extra:** Add sounds, add a timer, styling to look like an arcade game from the 80's. Make it cute :)\n\n## How to play\n\nUse the arrows to control Paperboy. Press the spacebar to throw newspapers.\n\nYou must hit the postbox with the newspaper.\n\n\n[Play the Game](https://donxito.github.io/game_paperboy/)\n\n\n## Screenshoots\n\n\n\u003cimg width=\"1490\" alt=\"1\" src=\"https://github.com/donxito/game_paperboy/assets/96595540/f7fa585f-fbe4-433d-b230-c0162069bf29\"\u003e\n\n\n\u003cimg width=\"1490\" alt=\"2\" src=\"https://github.com/donxito/game_paperboy/assets/96595540/8af6bfe2-0d79-46b6-8344-f6dc7537cea7\"\u003e\n\n\n\u003cimg width=\"1490\" alt=\"3\" src=\"https://github.com/donxito/game_paperboy/assets/96595540/5c7a277d-cd1f-46a8-8e29-93ed76a2e738\"\u003e\n\n\n[Play the Game](https://donxito.github.io/game_paperboy/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdonxito%2Fgame_paperboy","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdonxito%2Fgame_paperboy","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdonxito%2Fgame_paperboy/lists"}
