🕹️Arcade Games

Arcade games have one shape: you get one run, the speed climbs, and it ends when you make a mistake. There is no level to finish and no save to return to. The only thing that carries over is the number.

What makes them work is that the rules never change — you do. Snake is exactly as hard on move one as on move two hundred; what changes is how much room you have left. Breakout never speeds the ball up unfairly; it just removes the bricks you were using to aim.

These are our own implementations rather than emulations, rebuilt so the controls work with a thumb as well as a keyboard. The rules are the originals; the code is new.
