Love it - I'm sure our old tube TV still has scratches from when I used to get too excited as a kid and pressed the NES zapper directly against the glass.<p>I'm also a big fan of re-purposing sprite sheets from old video games - years ago I wrote a little edutainment game called "Aladdin's Mathemagical Flying Carpet" to help teach my little brothers the multiplication tables.<p><a href="https://specularrealms.com/alad" rel="nofollow">https://specularrealms.com/alad</a><p>Any retro gamer will instantly recognize the assets.
This is great! Super nostalgia.<p>Also -- anyone who doesn't know how the original light guns worked, it's worth a read. This crowd will likely appreciate the solution.
1. Awesome and well done!<p>2. But it doesn't have the classic "win" sound that I remember so fondly :(<p>3. Prepare to be destroyed by Nintendo
Great job, this is kid tested and approved. My 12yo son, who plays a lot of FPS games discovered how bad he is using the trackpad on my MacBook Pro. It was a lot of fun seeing him as frustrated at the laughing dog as I was in 1986 on my NES.
nice!<p>kaplay is underrated as a game engine imho, especially for teaching. It's intuitive and quite simple, and the web playground has some assets built in so it's immediately ready to go.
I put my mouse against the screen but it didn't make me better at aiming in this version of the game unfortunately ;)<p>Thank you for letting us relive this moments of childhood!
