🚀 About The Game

Neon Core is a fast-paced survival shooter where you pilot a ship through an infinite void. The game features a custom physics engine, particle-based explosions, and a glowing neon aesthetic—all rendered on a single HTML5 Canvas managed by React.

✨ Features

Custom Physics Engine: Smooth acceleration, friction, and collision detection logic built from scratch.

Particle System: Dynamic explosion effects with decay and color blending.

Reactive UI: Score, High Score, and Game Over states managed via React state, overlaying the canvas.

Performance Optimized: Uses requestAnimationFrame and useRef for a buttery smooth 60 FPS experience without React re-render overhead.

Responsive Design: Automatically adapts to window resizing.
