June Solstice Game Jam Submission

This is a submission for the June Solstice Game Jam

What I Built

When it comes to Summar Solstace - the place to be is Sweden. It is one of the highlights of the calendar.

This project aimed to recreate some of the mystique around the event- just in time for some fresh surestromming!

Now you can get it on the GO!

Midsommer Madness now in as an Android APK!

Code

Midsommer Madness Android wrapper & web game assets.

Midsommer Madness 🇸🇪

Midsommer Madness is a Swedish-themed action retro arcade game inspired by Redneck Rampage and the Swedish Midsummer holiday.

Help Sven race against the solar timer to reach the Maypole (midsommarstĂĄng) before sundown! If you fail, the solstice is lost, you trigger a meltdown, and you are sacrificed to the Wicker Man.

🎮 Level Sequence

The game features ten distinct thematic levels:

  1. IKEA Warehouse: Battle crowded, flatpack-carrying shoppers who throw box projectiles at you.
  2. Systembolaget: The state-owned liquor shop crowded with drunk Swedes stumbling and lobbing green beer bottles.
  3. Lördagsgodis: Sugar rush Saturday! Dodge hyperactive, strung-out Swedish kids throwing sweet candy projectiles.
  4. The Swedish Pub: Sing along with Frank Zappa fans singing "Bobby Brown" (shouting and firing glowing letters B, O, B, B, Y).
  5. Volvo Highway: A survival lane-crossing level where…

My Lingonberries are ripening- get to work!

> explain how this android app works

  I will read the source code of the Android wrapper ( MainActivity.kt ) to see how it loads and executes the game.

â—Ź Read(/home/xbill/midsommer-android/app/src/main/java/com/midsommer/madness/MainActivity.kt) (ctrl+o to expand)

  I will view  app/build.gradle  to see how game assets are synced from the web root into the Android app directory
  during build time.

  Defining Core Architecture
  I will check the  AndroidManifest.xml  to see how the application settings and screen orientations are defined.

â—Ź Read(/home/xbill/midsommer-android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml) (ctrl+o to expand)

  This Android application is built using a hybrid hybrid/web wrapper architecture. It allows you to develop the
  game using standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JS) and package it as a native Android app that runs in full-
  screen landscape mode.

  Here is a breakdown of how the different parts work and coordinate:
  ──────
  ### 1. The High-Level Architecture

  The project consists of two main parts:

  • The Web Core: The game is implemented entirely in vanilla web technologies (index.html, game.js, and
  index.css) under the root folder.
  • The Android Wrapper: Located in the app folder, it is a native Kotlin Android application that loads
  the web assets inside a customized, hardware-accelerated  WebView .
  ──────
  ### 2. The Android Wrapper ( MainActivity.kt  &  AndroidManifest.xml )

  • Immersive Full-Screen: MainActivity.kt hides the status bar and navigation bar using Android's                  
  SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY  mode. This ensures that the game runs in a distraction-free, full-screen canvas.
  • Landscape Lock: The AndroidManifest.xml locks the screen orientation to  landscape  and handles configuration
  changes dynamically so that rotating or resizing the screen doesn't restart the game.
  • WebView Configurations: The  WebView  settings are optimized for high-performance gaming:
      •  javaScriptEnabled = true  to allow game scripts to run.
      •  domStorageEnabled = true  and  databaseEnabled = true  to enable local storage and persistent save data (e.
      g. high scores).
      •  allowFileAccess = true  to load files locally from the APK assets.
      •  mediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture = false  to allow audio/sound effects to play automatically.
  • Platform styling (CSS Class injection): When the page finishes loading, MainActivity.kt executes a small snippet
  of Javascript:  document.documentElement.classList.add('android-app'); . This allows the game's index.css to
  apply custom styles or adjust layouts specifically for the Android app wrapper.
  ──────
  ### 3. The Web Game Core

  • Game Loop: The gameplay loop in game.js is built around a fixed-timestep update loop (targeting 60Hz)
  using  requestAnimationFrame , rendering sprites and backgrounds directly onto an HTML  <canvas> .
  • Touch input: Features custom virtual touchscreen joysticks/buttons rendered on the screen for mobile play.
  • Procedural Audio: Rather than loading heavy audio assets, it utilizes the Web Audio API to procedurally
  synthesize sound effects and music on the fly.
  • Touch-to-resume audio: Android's  WebView  blocks audio contexts until the user interacts with the page. The
  game handles this by resuming or initializing the  AudioContext  on the first touch gesture.
  ──────
  ### 4. Build System & Asset Sync ( build.gradle )

  To prevent you from having to copy your web code into the Android folder every time you make a change, the Gradle
  build file automates this:

  1. Gradle Copy Task: The build.gradle defines a  copyGameAssets  task:
    tasks.register('copyGameAssets', Copy) {
        from "${project.rootDir}"
        into "${project.projectDir}/src/main/assets"
        include "index.html", "game.js", "index.css", "*.png"
    }

  2. Build Hook: This is bound to  preBuild  (build.gradle), running automatically before the Kotlin/Java files
  are compiled.
  3. Execution: When you run  make build-apk  or  ./gradlew assembleDebug , the latest web assets are automatically
  copied to  app/src/main/assets/  and compiled directly into the final Android APK.

  children throwing Saturday candy at Sven!

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

### Summary of Changes

  1. Level Setup ( game.js ): • Inserted Lördagsgodis as game.js in the levels array, shifting following levels up to Level 10 (ABBA Disco). • Updated all final-level check logic throughout game.js from Level 9 to Level 10.
  2. Added CandyKid & Lordagsgodis Classes ( game.js ):
    • Defined game.js and game.js right after the Drunkard class.
    • Behavior:
    • CandyKid has high speed (1.8), low health (35), and throws sweets rapidly.
    • Kids shiver/vibrate rapidly on screen to depict their extreme sugar rush.
    • Lordagsgodis are fast-moving candy projectiles (round jelly drops, square sweet gel blocks, and candy
    star crosses) that rotate in flight and come in a variety of bright colors.

  3. Music & Audio:
    • Modified game.js to include a happy, hyperactive 150 BPM C Major chiptune track for Level 3
    (Lördagsgodis).
    • Shifted level conditions in game.js to map Levels 8, 9, and 10 to their respective custom chiptune
    hooks.

  4. UI & Documentation:
    • renumerated the sidebar tracker list in index.html to show the 10-level layout.
    • Updated the level progression descriptions in game_overview.md.
