1v1 Physics Platformer Game
Competitive two-player collision-physics game built in Java.
Java Versus Platformer
The problem
Building a two-player local versus game on a single keyboard without key-press ghosting or missed input frames.
The constraint
Java keylisteners easily drop key-release events during simultaneous multi-key presses.
What I built
A bitmask key polling tracker and custom momentum physics loop in Java AWT.
The outcome
A responsive two-player arcade platformer running at consistent framerates.
