The gap
Horror games for younger players often end up either too scary or with nothing to do but walk.

What it solves
What it is
This template turns the spooky atmosphere into a timing game: ghosts pose for a moment, the camera rewards patience, and a missed ghost only costs a courage candle.
How you use it
Unzip, serve the folder and open index.html, then edit game.js; npm test plays it again in headless Chrome.
Source code of a real, playable game to reskin and learn from, with a smoke test whose bot plays it.
Who it is for
Use it when
- Publishing a family-friendly Halloween or horror game, or any timing game where targets appear and fade.
- Learning how a complete spooky ghost-photography game is built in plain JavaScript and Canvas 2D.
- Building a branded mini-game for a client.
Built for
- Web and indie game developers who know some JavaScript.
- Developers who want a finished, tested game to build on instead of a blank canvas.
What you get
A curve per ghost
Each ghost has a duration and a visibility curve (fade in, pose, fade out); the poltergeist peaks early, the grey lady stays faint, and the photo grade is the clarity times the framing.
Nights as data
A night is a length, a spawn gap, a ghost limit and a wanted list; film is computed from the expected number of ghosts, and one new ghost type is introduced each night.
No build step
Plain JavaScript and Canvas 2D; open index.html through any static server and edit game.js.
A smoke test
A headless Chrome test loads the game, checks the console, presses keys and taps, and lets the built-in bot play a run to its result screen.
