#34Color or shading would go a long way towards telling obstacle from hole-in-obstacle.
You say that as if shading is a feature to add. Shading is the default for 3D libraries, so this developer went to extra effort to toggle on cell-shaded mode to remove it on purpose.
It's not obvious to me the developer was using a 3D library! It looks like this was made in 2010, and uses and SVG library and vanilla Javascript. https://github.com/bwhmather/missile-game
The flash game it's based on does have more textured walls, although overall shading is still pretty minimal. I don't know what 3D flash development was like.

#35this anyone knows this exact game but for keyboard/keyboard-centric?

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
I wonder if phones have cursor support. Obviously they have to for touch-based text editing, but it feels different. Touch screens inherently have dead zones with no input, a cursors position persists. I imagine there are a couple of gotchas if you were to try to implement this yourself. Fun to think about.
Android does, at least.
iOS does too. Might have to enable it in Accessibility settings, IIRC.

They do, both iOS (and iPadOS) and Android.
You are correct that it is pretty interesting how they went around implementing the interface. Look up some YouTube videos if this interests you.
Another clever thing is that you can connect an iPad to your Mac and control both with the same mouse, jumping over screen to screen with the cursor (dragging files, etc).

#38Reminds me of this very similar game I like more: https://www.kongregate.com/games/tenebrousp/accelerator

#39Here are links to the flash game this is based on: Embeded: https://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/missilegame3d SWF file: https://www.albinoblacksheep.com/swf/roboman/missilegame3d(w... I much prefer the flash version, when run in actual Adobe Flash (Flash Player Projector 29, OS X 10.9, Intel i7-4790K). Something about the controls feels much tighter versus the web remake. When played in the Ruffle flash emulator,…
I love the dedication to the vintage OS. Is that a hackintosh?
