Surely you know Space Invaders. Probably one of the most famous early arcade games, which captivate you despite or even because of its quite simple gameplay. 👾

Probably there is no architecture in this world, that doesn't have a clone of this classic. Nevertheless, it is always refreshing, when someone takes up the theme of the game and implements it again on the basis of current technologies.

Susam is the culprit of the current incarnation, which can be found on GitHub. 

Andromeda Invaders is a single page JS app with a little under 1000 lines of ES5 Javascript. The implementation is straight forward but still interesting. And if you want, you can play the game directly online - on the desktop but just as well on a mobile device.

Nice pastime!
