HTML5 Canvas game 01: ok what do we have to start from.
In my startup post, I've given a hint that my TD game in HTML5 canvas was online.Not much at this point, but still many parts and recipes that will be useful as the game develops.
About Tower/Turret defense games
The basis of this type of game is to stop creeps from going through your territory. In order to do this, you have money to build towers that possess particular weapons aimed at destroying the creeps.
Creeps give money when they are destroyed. BUT...
As more waves of creeps advance on the territory, they become stronger, more difficult to destroy. Often, you can upgrade the towers, buy stronger ones as the game advances.
Tower have standard powers which attack general or specific targets: canon, lazer, rocket, and ice (that slows down creeps). Also available, power towers that upgrade the towers in its vincinity.
You can sell a tower (if you want another one in its place) for a fraction of the original money put into it through construction or upgrade. Many variation exist of these options/gameplay elements and mmany others...
