Doodle Dodge

✏️ Doodle Dodge: The Ultimate Notebook Runner
Step into the pages of a living notebook in Doodle Dodge, a high-octane endless runner that transforms simple sketches into a chaotic, fun-filled adventure. Relive the nostalgia of classroom daydreams where stick figures engaged in epic battles across the margins of your homework.

🖼️ A Visual Masterpiece of Code
Doodle Dodge stands apart with its unique "Zero Asset" philosophy. There are no images, sprites, or pre-rendered textures. Everything you see—from the rolling paper texture of the background to the frantic scribble of the player character—is drawn in real-time using advanced HTML5 Canvas algorithms.

Procedural Sketching: Our custom drawSketchyLine technology simulates the pressure and imperfection of a ballpoint pen. Lines jitter, overlap, and vary in thickness, creating a truly hand-drawn aesthetic that feels organic and alive.

Dynamic Animation: Characters are mathematically animated, not just cycled through frames. Watch the Stickman's limbs swing in sine-wave harmony, the Robot's mechanical stiffness, and the Blob's gelatinous squash-and-stretch physics.

The Omni-Pencil: The game's antagonist is the medium itself. A giant, yellow No. 2 pencil hovers over the track, furiously sketching obstacles into existence before your eyes.

🎮 Deep Gameplay Mechanics
This is a test of reflexes, strategy, and precision.

6-Lane Warfare: The battlefield is divided into three horizontal lanes. You must constantly assess the threat: Is that a rock? Jump it! Is that a high wall? Switch lanes! Is that a gap in the paper? Leap for your life!

Pseudo-3D Physics: The game creates a sense of depth, simulating movement "in" and "out" of the page. Jump mechanics allow you to soar over ground-based hazards while staying vulnerable to aerial threats like Paper Airplanes.

Armed & Dangerous: Collect ammo packs to arm your doodler. Fire crumpled paper projectiles to obliterate moving Eraser enemies. The satisfaction of watching an enemy burst into a cloud of ink particles is unmatched.

Character Roster: Unlock and play as distinct characters:

The Stickman: The classic hero. Agile, thin, and ready to run.

The Robot: Built for durability (in spirit). Features unique jagged limb movements.

The Blob: A cute, amorphous entity that wobbles its way through danger.

🎵 A Symphony of Synths
The sound design is lightweight and procedural, using a procedural sound engine instead of pre-recorded audio files.

Adaptive Music: The soundtrack is a generative chiptune melody that keeps the tempo high.

Synthesized SFX: Every jump, shot, and explosion is synthesized on the spot using oscillators and noise buffers, resulting in crisp, retro sound effects that perfectly match the visual style.

🌟 Features at a Glance
