It's a platformer. Avoid the enemy ninjas (or throw shurikens at them) and negotiate the fiendish levels.
One of the great things about creating a "platformer engine" is that once it's created, it's simply a case of having fun designing levels. Going through historically classic platformers and implementing your own version of their ideas, and being able to play it straight away, makes all the hard work worthwhile.
I've also written the code for moving platforms, but I'm still trying to work out how to include them in the map data; the map data only handles a block type in each "cell", whereas moving platforms require data on the direction to move in, and the distance. More on that in a future post.
Anyway, find Ninja! here!
