hypercolor-asteroids

Hypercolor Asteroids is a single-page, neon vector arcade game inspired by the 1979 classic. It is built to run directly in the browser without a build step, dependencies, or network requirements. Beyond the gameplay, the project functions as a social experiment in collaborative development. Contributors add new game elements—such as asteroid storms, portals, krakens, and custom 'events'—through pull requests. A unique mechanic ensures that events created by a developer never trigger for them, but do trigger for others, turning the repository's version history into a strategic battleground. Key features include: - Local multiplayer: Two pilots sharing one keyboard. - Dynamic hazards: Splitting rocks, diving krakens, and portals. - Integrated record-keeping: A 'black box' system that tapes flights and records them in the project's rankings. - Rule-based contribution: A set of 'Golden Rules' that influence game difficulty based on the contributor's behavior and git history. - Automated chronicle: A generated history of every version and the contributions associated with them.
