This game is a retro street fighter clone called "Friedrichshain Connection," designed to evoke the style of 90s arcade games for fans of NES, Sega Mega Drive or Commodore 64 games. Set in Berlin, players can select from a variety of unique fighters, each with distinct abilities and special moves, and engage in one-on-one battles against either a computer-controlled opponent or another player. To use the app, players start on an introductory screen where they can press the "Enter" key to navigate to the character selection screen. Here, they can choose their fighter using the arrow keys to navigate through a grid of available characters. Once a fighter is selected, players can enter the fight screen, where they control their character using keyboard controls. The game features a health bar for both the player and the opponent, and players can perform various actions such as moving, jumping, punching, kicking, and defending. The app is built using TypeScript and React, leveraging Next.js for server-side rendering and routing. It utilizes various libraries and technologies, including Tailwind CSS for styling, and custom hooks for managing keyboard controls and sound settings. The game features pixelated graphics and animations, enhancing the retro aesthetic. Key features of the app include: - A selection of diverse fighters, each with unique attributes and special moves. - Intuitive keyboard controls for gameplay, including movement, attacks, and defense. - Dynamic health bars that visually represent the fighters' health during battles. - A computer AI that adapts to player actions, providing a challenging experience. - Sound effects and background music that can be muted or unmuted by the player. - A victory and defeat screen that displays the outcome of each match, with options to continue to the next round or return to the main menu. Overall, "Friedrichshain Connection" offers an engaging and nostalgic fighting game experience, combining classic gameplay mechanics with modern web technologies.
