Gablin Maze

Gablin Maze is the prototype of a HTML5 webapp that implements a simple 2D game with levels to overcome.

The game aim is to guide the main character (represented by a little cat) inside a maze with the goal to found the exit.

It is a level game with increasing difficulty in which each level is represented by a different maze to overcome.

The game was implemented with Node.js and Typescript using PixiJS Engine. The project include a docker image with all need to build and run the game.

Notes:
At present this software can be only considered a prototype with a good gameplay, music, level and scoring management, that includes a random maze generator also. The source code could be improved with a better organization and decoupling, then with new features.
