About Star Crusade
Star Crusade is a retro arcade shooter written in plain JavaScript and drawn on an HTML canvas. It follows the classic Galaga-style formula: you pilot a ship through a space battle, fending off enemy formations and trying to survive as long as you can while racking up points.
The project leans on old-school arcade design, with simple, readable action and no framework or engine underneath. Because it is plain JavaScript, the source is compact and easy to read, which makes it approachable for anyone who wants to see how a small arcade shooter is put together.
The repository is tagged as vibe coding, and the project's listing names ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot among the tools involved. The creator's own statement about how each was used is not spelled out, so the tool credit comes from the repository's metadata.
