A full-screen 2-player fighting game built with vanilla JavaScript to demonstrate core game physics, canvas rendering, and game-loop architecture.

This project started as a personal challenge to apply everything I learned about JavaScript. I wanted to push beyond simple scripts and build something interactive - a game that includes physics, player mechanics, and combat systems.

After careful planning, I built the entire game in about one week, working 8+ hours a day. The goal was simple: turn my learning into a playable experience.

Samurai Fighter: Battle Arena is a local multiplayer fighting game where two warriors battle in a fast-paced arena.

Each player starts with 300 health points and must defeat their opponent before the 30-second timer runs out. The game includes movement, jumping, attacks, blocking, special moves, and a shop system for power-ups.

• 2-Player Local Multiplayer (same keyboard)
• 300 Health Point Combat System
• 30-Second Battle Timer
• Blocking Mechanic (reduces damage to 5)
• Special Attacks (3× damage when bar is full)
• Critical Hit System (20% chance for 2× damage)
• Power-up Shop with 6 items
• Best of 3 Rounds format
• Coin System (earn coins, buy power-ups)

• A - Move Left
• D - Move Right
• W - Jump
• SPACE - Attack
• SHIFT - Block (reduces damage to 5)
• E - Special Attack (when bar is full)

• ← - Move Left
• → - Move Right
• ↑ - Jump
• ↓ - Attack
• CTRL - Block (reduces damage to 5)
• ENTER - Special Attack (when bar is full)

• ESC - Pause/Resume game
• Q - Quit to main menu
• 1-6 - Use power-ups (when purchased)

The most challenging part of this project was handling collisions and bringing sprite images into the game. Figuring out this logic helped me deeply understand:

• Game Loops
• State Management
• Collision Detection

• JavaScript (Vanilla JS)
• HTML5 CANVAS
• CSS3
• Free game assets from YouTube

Building this game strengthened my understanding of:

• Game loop architecture
• Physics Simulation
• Canvas rendering
• Keyboard input handling
• Collision detection
• State Management

• Write custom SVG icons instead of emojis
• Room Code System to play with friends (online multiplayer)
• More Characters
• Sound effects
• CPU opponent

If you try the game, I would truly appreciate your feedback. Suggestions, improvements, or collaboration ideas are always welcome.
