Capstone: Ship a Web Game

Not public yet. This page links to b12n-cljsapp, which is still private, so those links will 404 for now. They're being opened up as the course progresses, and this note goes away when they are. The three raylib suites the rest of the course is built on (clj, jlt, jnk) are public today.

This is the fastest capstone to a shareable result, no native toolchain at all, and b12n-cljsapp provides a reference implementation with nine finished games you can fork and remix.

Two ways in

Remix an existing game. b12n-cljsapp's src/cljs/net/b12n/cljsapp/games/ has nine finished games, Memory, Breakout, Tetris, Snake, 2048, Connect Four, Wordle, Galaga, Asteroids, plus a dashboard. Fork the repo, pick one, and change something real: a difficulty curve, a new power-up, a visual theme, an entirely different win condition.

Build a tenth. See Track B for the exact two touchpoints (a display-name entry and a page-dispatch entry in main.cljs) a new game needs to show up in the dashboard.

Ship it

Fork b12n-cljsapp, push to your own GitHub repo, then under Settings → Pages, set Source to "Deploy from a branch" and pick main / public. This is the simplest path to a public URL for your game, no custom Actions workflow required. You'll have a shareable link the same day.

(b12n-cljsapp itself uses a custom Actions-based deploy for faster iteration; that's a more involved setup worth reading once the simple Settings → Pages path feels limiting, not a prerequisite to shipping your first fork.)
