Blockaid (WIP)
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Overview: This HTML-based grid game is a simple maze-like challenge where the player, represented by an '@' character, must navigate through a grid to reach a goal ('G') while avoiding obstacles ('X') and walls ('#'). The player can move using arrow keys and has a score that can be affected by their actions.
Game Elements:
- Grid: The game is played on a grid consisting of cells, with a 10x10 layout.
- Player: The player is denoted by an '@' character and can be moved using arrow keys. The objective is to reach the goal while avoiding obstacles and walls.
- Goal: The goal is marked as 'G' and is the target the player must reach to win the game.
- Obstacles: Obstacles are represented by 'X' characters and are randomly placed on the grid. Colliding with an obstacle results in a score penalty.
- Walls: Walls are represented by '#' characters and are also placed randomly on the grid. The player cannot pass through walls.
- Restart Button: A restart button is provided, allowing the player to restart the game by pressing 'R'. This action resets the grid, score, and all elements.
Gameplay:
- The player starts at a fixed position in the grid.
- The player can move in four directions (up, down, left, and right) using the arrow keys.
- The goal is placed randomly on the grid, and the player's task is to reach it.
- Red obstacles and walls are also randomly placed on the grid.
- If the player attempts to move into an obstacle ('X'), they lose 6 points from their score, and the obstacle disappears from the grid.
- The game keeps track of the player's score, which can increase by reaching the goal ('G') and decrease when colliding with obstacles. The player starts with a score of 0.
- To restart the game, the player can press the 'R' key, which clears the grid and score and generates a new game state.
- The player can continue playing, navigating through the maze, accumulating points, and trying to reach the goal.
Objective:
The primary objective of the game is to reach the goal ('G') while avoiding obstacles ('X') and walls ('#'). The player's secondary objective is to maximize their score by reaching the goal and minimize score losses by avoiding obstacles.
Challenge:
The challenge lies in strategically moving through the grid, avoiding obstacles and making the right moves to reach the goal while maintaining a positive score.
This grid-based maze game provides an entertaining and interactive experience that requires both planning and quick reflexes to achieve the highest possible score while avoiding obstacles in the grid. Players can enjoy this game by trying to beat their own score or competing with others.

Untrue it is one of my first games ever and it follows the theme of trying to escape. I am not that good at making games but how do I check if it is possible using an html embed format.
