#NYAN-CAT the side scrolling cute shoot em up (bullet hell) game adventure

##Planning

• Initial Planning

• Create a fun shoot-em-up aka bullet-hell game thats cute, attractive and possibly multiplayer

• Utilize and educate self on phaser.io (and learning how to google search terms and ask questions in this.community)

• Bonuses (in order)

• Add use of websockets (socket.io)

• Add a DB for inputting and saving player scores

• Putting it on Ionic so its native on mobile, making use of the gyroscope for player movement ##User-stories

• When I start the game, I want to play the game

• Game should be intuitive and only need to use a few buttons (move and shoot)

• Game must be cute, colorful, hilarious, explosions and dodging and with skill

• When an enemy is eliminated by my nyan-beam, it will explode and drop 'doge tokens'

• I want my nyan-cat to have a tail that grows based on how well I am doing at the game

• If the game has multiplayer functionality, I should be able to 'block' other players with my tail. either obscuring their vision or disabling them from grabbing 'tokens'

• When a player joins on multiplayer, expand the map 'down' by the original map size

• Players will have views only to the map size (so if they go out of bounds at the bottom, they will see a different 'scene'), similar to Zelda LTTP

• Bounds can repeat, as in if a player goes all the way North, he will arrive at the last Block view (South)

• Game should be mobile friendly, on mobile I want to tap the screen to shoot and enable the gyroscope of the device for movement. AND have a default horizontal orientation.

##Monday 8/8/2016

• Looked at source code from basic shoot em up.
• Created the sprites and placed Nyan-cat (player), added Bogeys (enemies) the Bomb and the mage
• Spent a 2 hours trying out different methods to append a tail to the nyan-cat... -- Need to:
• Spawn multiple enemies
• set up HP for enemies and player
• finish reading the learnpub ##MTues
• collideWorldBounds ##Wednesday
• ok the basic game is good..Need to
• create 'bosses' from killing 15 bombs
• want to add a dynamic scoreboard and have player names showing (express?) + websockets
• Expand the map, reset all the little bombs, add a camera to 800x600

##Made with:

• Education from WDI General Assembly, instructors Nick, Jesse, Adrian

• Runs on node.js with http-server for local testing

• Phaser.io

• Socket.io for websockets

• Heroku for hosting backend and possibly this app itself to get the phaser-input working..

• http://spritedatabase.net/ for getting the sprites
