Bolt’s Clone of Scorched Earth
- A Scorched Earth clone was created using modern web technologies with realistic physics, destructible terrain, and various weapons.
- The implementation utilizes React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS for a responsive design and Zustand for game state management.
- The game features quality-of-life improvements like an in-game weapon shop and trajectory prediction for enhanced gameplay.
- However, the initial iterations of the game had issues with unused screen space, UI elements not functioning properly, and components not loading correctly.
- Subsequent attempts were made to address these issues, focusing on redesigning the UI layout, fixing player/AI sliders, improving game mechanics, and enhancing visual design.
- Despite improvements, issues persisted with projectile visibility, opponent damage calculation, and UI elements extending outside the game area.
- Further adjustments were suggested such as dynamic terrain preview, correct firing angles, visible projectiles, and optimizing UI layout for better user experience.
- Ultimately, the final attempts to fix critical issues like firing angles, visible projectiles, UI layout, player/NPC placement, game mechanics, and terrain generation did not yield successful results.
- The performance varied across attempts, with some aspects like weapons and movement being implemented successfully, while issues with firing trajectory and UI integration persisted in later attempts.
- Despite initial promise, the game faced challenges in achieving full functionality and cohesive integration of features, leading to disappointing outcomes in subsequent attempts.
- Overall, the process highlighted the complexities of creating a fully functional Scorched Earth clone with modern web technologies and the importance of thorough testing and iteration in game development.
