I don't have too much to say here. I've been playing a lot of Helldivers 2 lately, and this Stratagem Hero arcade game lives on your ship. You can use it to practice inputs relevant to gameplay, and compete for high scores. I got the urge to recreate it, so I did. My initial motivation was to recreate the core concept and then bolt on the idea of 'loadouts' - user-defined groups of Stratagems - which would allow the player to customize which stratagems would come up during gameplay. Essentially a way to focus-train your favorite stratagems.
Well, I got pretty much the whole thing replicated, but I've kind of petered out after a couple days working on this, and am ready to move back to my main project, so the loadout idea was left out. A lot of the infrastructure for it already exists, so if there is any interest I will update the game to include it.
So, that's it. Check out Stratagem Hero and let me know what you think.
Oh, and the source code is available on GitHub. Do whatever you'd like with it.
