Turning Your GitHub Contributions into a Space Invaders Game

Source: DEV Community

I built a small side project called GitInvaders. 👉 https://www.gitinvaders.com/ It started with a random thought: What if my GitHub contributions weren’t just a graph, but something interactive? Something... I could play with. The Idea Instead of looking at contribution charts, I wanted to turn them into a game. So I made a Space Invaders-style web game where: Your contributions become enemies You control a spaceship And you literally shoot your own commits It sounds unnecessary. It is unnecessary. But it's fun. Demo Here’s a quick look at the game: How It Works Log in with GitHub and the game pulls your real contribution data Each contribution block becomes an enemy More commits means more enemies on screen No GitHub account? You can still play using Google login. Why I Built This This project wasn’t about solving a big problem. I just wanted to build something: small weird and enjoyable Along the way, I got to play with: OAuth (GitHub and Google) Turning real data into game mechanic
