Fakery, Artificial Intelligence, Collision Detection, a 2D Platform Shooter in JS
summary
A 2D platform shooter called Pistol Slut is implemented in JavaScript on the canvas using the Render Engine and runs in modern browsers. Fakery uses particles with 700 ms life and parallax layers; collision is grid plus bounding boxes, bullets use line intersection to recover impact point and grenades use sweeping collision detection; AI is behavior trees serialized as JSON with prioritized and sequential strategies. Performance wins come from on/off‑camera caching and selective denial; the game is built and playable.
