#2Great work here, while I suck at games, it's great to see how Go can be used to build browser based applications.

#3Beautiful game, thanks for sharing. Koblas's comment caught my eye and I will definitely be poking around the github actions code to learn how to compile Golang to WASM.

#4Constructive feedback - coming from experience with games like "Time Pilot" or "Strikers 1945" - the firing recharge/repeat rate of this game seems too slow.
Otherwise it was neat!

Fire rate becomes faster as you collect powerups.

#6Entity Component Systems are definitely the key for making all kinds of interesting gameplay elements very quickly, and in ways you might not even think of initially.

Thank you!
Go makes it ridiculously easy:
GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build -o web/game.wasmRe: Show HN: I made a 2D shoot 'em up game with Go, using Entity Component System

It's too slow to start. It's too hard to destroy all the enemies in time if you miss.
But code looks great! Really nice to see ECS in Go.

Thanks! The game is not really balanced at this point, it definitely could use some play testing and improvements. :)

#10For the curious, here's the ECS package this is built with: https://github.com/yohamta/donburi
