Bella Sara Spectacular Jumping Game

This is a fan recreation of the Bella Sara Spectacular Jumping Game intended for archival purposes since the original is no longer available.

This recreation is intended to eventually include at least the first and second levels of the game.

Set Up

To start, you will first need to download the code from this repository. This can be done using git or by downloading the .zip folder directly in the browser.

Since JavaScript has been used here in place of Flash, Flash is not required to play this recreation. However, since modern browsers place a few limitations on files opened directly in the browser, this game does need to be running from a server to work.

The following are a few ways to set up a server locally (on your own computer):

• If you have VSCode installed, install the Live Server extension in VSCode, open this project in VSCode and then press 'Go Live' in the bottom right to open the game in the browser.

• If you have python installed (it should be preinstalled on Macs), navigate to the project folder and run python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080 (or python -m http.server 8080 for python version 3).

• Some other options are also listed here.

After starting a server locally, you can usually access it from http://localhost:8080/.
