Rocket Arcade (static)

A tiny, clean game hub you can host anywhere (including GitHub Pages).

Run locally

Because this uses fetch() for games/games.json, you need a local server.

Option A (quick): Python

1. Open a terminal in the rocket-arcade/ folder
2. Run:
   • Windows: py -m http.server 8000
   • Mac/Linux: python3 -m http.server 8000
3. Open: http://localhost:8000

Option B (best dev experience): Vite

1. Install Node.js
2. In the rocket-arcade/ folder:
   • npm create vite@latest is optional — this repo already works as-is.
   • If you want hot reload, you can wrap it with Vite later.

Add a new game

1. Copy games/_template/ → games/<your-game-id>/
2. Edit games/<your-game-id>/index.html and game.js
3. Add an entry to games/games.json:

{
  "id": "your-game-id",
  "title": "Your Game Title",
  "description": "One-line hook.",
  "path": "games/your-game-id/index.html",
  "tag": "quick game",
  "time": "30–120s"
}

That’s it — it will appear on the homepage.

Deploy (GitHub Pages)

1. Create a GitHub repo and push this folder
2. In repo settings → Pages → set source to main branch and /root
3. Your site will be live.

Notes

• High scores are stored in localStorage (per browser).
• Keep games lightweight: single canvas, simple input, instant restart.

Have fun.
