Bug Smash

Description: I created this game as my attempt to recreate one of my favorite games as a child. I chose a fallout theme because of the new tv show I was watching when I created this game. I created a simple platform shooter where endless waves of cockroaches spawn while you attempt to shoot them all. It was created after strike force heroes and raze which are 2 flash games that I played when I was 8.

Steps: I first focused on the player and movement getting these mechanics to work and then working on platforms. I completed interaction between the player and the platforms before moving on to shooting. I had difficulty making the bullets move because of the trigonometry involved with the bullet movements. I then had to focus on the interaction between the bullets and the platforms, so they disappear upon hitting the sides. I then had to add the enemies and how to interact with them such as gravity and destruction upon touching a bullet. I then focused on the enemy's interaction with the player and the creation of a lives system that would go down upon enemies touching and a clear all enemies or else you would lose immediately. I then had to add all the animation backgrounds and scene transfers.
