The Great Machine Armada
My entry for the OLC Code Jam 2020.
The theme was The Great Machine. I was going to make something nicer, but due to time crunch, had to scale it back dramatically to a simple space invaders clone.
Controls:
* A or Left Arrow - Move the tank left
* D or Right Arrow - Move the tank right
* Space Bar - Fire the tank's canon.
* P - Pause the game
* ESCAPE - Exit to the title (will also exit to the from the main menu OS in the windows version)
* Windows version also allows use of a joystick (first one only) and maps button 1 to fire and button 2 to ESCAPE.

Install instructions
The html version should work in-browser. The windows version doesn't have an installer, just unzip and run great_machine_armada.exe. If you have dll/library problems please let me know as I do not have spare machines to test with.

It's hard to win with only 1 life! Even if it's basic, it's pretty good.
The web player doesn't seem to respond to keyboard inputs. Space, for example, just scrolls the page.
On my machine it works fine.
It might be related to local storage or cookies—I discovered that Chrome on my shared computer seemed to be blocking local storage, causing crashes with other games. I can’t get on a computer to verify at the moment, though.
Edit: Yep, it worked when I tested it in Firefox, so I think that was the issue.
