What it is
This template shows each throw's path before release and lets players test ideas freely, then checks real orbital goals.
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.
Use it when
Built for
The same stepBody() moves moons and draws the dotted preview, so the preview is always exactly what will happen.
Each challenge is a body list and a goal object; laps come from unwrapped angles, so new goals are a few lines.
Plain JavaScript and Canvas 2D; open index.html through any static server and edit game.js.
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.
