Mäkihyppy — browser port

Ported from the original Spectravideo SVI-328 BASIC cassette listing (data/makihyppy.bas). Practice and competition modes include the original jump timing, in-flight balance, distance, and 5-judge style scoring.

What's different from the original

Differences from the original: competitors can be toggled between human control and AI opponents (not in the original, which only supported humans taking turns on shared controls); AI difficulty and results vary between games; jump distances are saved to a local Hall of Fame; the interface is localized to your browser's language; and pressing L on the start menu shows a closing screen instead of ending the program, since a web page cannot do that.

Original game by Anssi Pulkkinen, published in Mikrobitti 1/1985.

Tap the left third of the screen to raise skis, the middle to jump, and the right third to lower skis.

Press SPACE to start the approach run.

Best distance: 0 m

Ski pitch: 0°

Stance: ready

Controls

Space — start the approach run, then press again at the right moment to take off.
A / D — raise or lower the skis while airborne. This changes the original flight stance, including its risk and scoring effects.
Land in stance 1 or 2 for a clean landing. Stance 3 or 4 falls; pushing beyond either end also falls.
