Flashback for modern Web Browsers

This project is a TypeScript rewrite of REminiscence which is a reimplementation of the engine of Flashback, a game released in 1992 for the Commodore-Amiga & DOS.

I converted by hand most of the C++ code to TypeScript.

SDL functions have been mapped to their Canvas/WebAudio equivalent functions.

Requirements

• a modern browser (Chrome/FF/Safari 15+)
• a keyboard (no touch support yet)

What's implemented:

• DOS demo version only is supported
• Cutscenes (most opcodes implemented, a few gfx glitches)
• Gameplay (rolling demo, as well as user-controlled demo work)
• Sound (including "sfx" in-game music)
• Keyboard-based controls

What's missing:

• Some opcodes (very few for cutscenes, about 25 for the game)
• Savegame support
• Joystick support
• Scalers (flashback-web uses CSS-based blurry scaling)
• Module/OGG sound
• Loading your own data (only the freely distributable demo was tested)
