Kupiter - A free, game-based way to study created with Phaser and NodeJS.

[kevdude]

Hi everyone,

Kupiter is a studying tool that models the old Asteroids video game. Players shoot asteroids with letters on them to answer questions, and questions can be created and shared with others. The purpose of this project is to offer a unique way to study/learn by playing a game that is engaging and effective.

Our website: kupiter.org

Demo questions: kupiter.org/0000

The game features:

• Power-ups, weapons, bots, and explosions.
• Real-time leaderboards.
• Question importing from Quizlet
• Mobile device compatibility

Kupiter was created using Phaser for the game itself, and nodeJS for the server back-end. All of the question sets are stored in a MongoDB database.

Try it out and let me know what you think!

Thanks,

Kevin

Interesting concept.

The game plays very smoothly and I like how everything is very clean.

Couple of things I noticed:

• Would be great to be able to play with mouse as alternative control scheme.
• The interface is hard to maneuver through the first time I started it up. It is not obvious where I have to press to start playing or what I have to do without reading everything. Consider adding Icons next to the text in the question set finder.

Other than that it's pretty sweet, nice work!
