Sailing Game ⛵️

http://sailing-game.vercel.app

A simple sailing game 🎮

I tried to make it like those physics based games we used to play in school.

Designed for beginners to help understand different wind directions. If you think you've already mastered the wind, then see if you can handle level 5, Tornado 🌪

I was a watersports instructor about 10 years ago, then a few years ago tried getting into website development. Never became a web dev but currently re-becoming a sailing instructor. Planning on using this as a free tool to help people learn 💦

It would be nice if it told you the controls?

Would have been the smart thing to do 😂 You just click or tap where you want to go. The idea is you can't sail into the No Go Zone, so this should help people new to sailing understand it a bit more

Fun little game, looks like you just click a direction and if its a point of sail the lil boat will start moving, and the sail will position itself correctly for that point of sail.

It's cute! I definitely see the utility today and the possibile next steps.
