Game Collection

A collection of games and visualizations built with Julia and Node.js, featuring fractal battles and classic Snake.

Projects

1. Fractal Battle Game (Julia)

An AI-driven battle between mathematical fractals like Mandelbrot and Julia sets. Fighters have health, defense, and special abilities. The game generates animated MP4 videos of the battles.

Features

• Mandelbrot, Julia, and Burning Ship fractals as fighters
• AI agents with strategic decision-making
• Special abilities: Deep Zoom (power boost), Iterate Heal, Burning Burst, Variant Shift
• Defense mechanics reducing damage
• Video generation with real-time fractal animations
• Tournament mode with multiple fighters

How to Run

1. Ensure Julia is installed.
2. Activate environment: julia --project
3. Run AI battle: julia --project main.jl (choose 'a' for AI demo)
4. For video: Generates battle.mp4 with fractal animations
5. Interactive mode: Choose 'i' for player vs AI battle

Files

• main.jl: Core game logic, fractal generation, battle simulation
• Project.toml: Julia dependencies (Plots, VideoIO, etc.)
• frames/: Generated animation frames
• battle.mp4: Output video

2. Web Server (Node.js)

A localhost web server serving interactive games and visualizations.

Features

• Serves HTML pages for games
• RESTful endpoints for fractal images (PNG)
• Supports real-time animations

How to Run

1. Install Node.js.
2. Run: node server.js
3. Open http://localhost:3000 in browser

Files

• server.js: HTTP server setup
• index.html: Interactive fractal battle with live animations
• snake.html: Web-based Snake game

3. Snake Game (Node.js)

Classic Snake game playable in browser or console.
