About
SkiFree is a single-player skiing game created by Chris Pirih and released with Microsoft Entertainment Pack 3 for Windows 3.0 in October 1991, where the player skis down a mountain avoiding obstacles while racing against time or performing stunts. This is a simple JavaScript/HTML5 canvas remake of SkiFree, described by its author as a first attempt while experimenting with the module JavaScript pattern.
How it differs from the original
As a first-attempt remake, it's missing several pieces of the original: jumping isn't implemented and there's no way to restart a run, and the author notes the code still needs cleanup and more entities and improved sprites.
Known limitations
- gameplay: This is a first attempt; code needs cleanup.
- gameplay: Jumping is not yet implemented.
- gameplay: Game restarting is not yet implemented.
