Drifty Tanks
A browser game made in HTML5

This game originally was a project I made in 2019-2020 (2 years ago now) to be my homemade version of tank trouble online and I thought that I should go through and take a look at it and try improve anything. When  looked at the code, my first thoughts were "What dumbass wrote this?". Everything was over complicated an the UI in the game was ugly

I redid most of the main menu, giving it a theme. (shades of green for buttons &boxes and white for text and images). I did keep the old tank drawing in the end, partly out of nostalgia and partly because I couldn't be bothered to make a better one yet.

I also went though all the code. On average, each program is half as long as it used to be.  I have since learnt of unity events which are very useful for keeping codes separate and clean.

I have also added particle effects using Unity's Particle System, new music, 2 new sound effects,  better settings menu, better scoring system, better join menu, better score display and reduced file sizes.

PS: The version number tells you how many times I have changed the project. (1.0, 2.0, 3.0 being remarkable changes and 0.1, 0.2 ,0.3 being minor ones).
