Project Description

This is javascript capstone project built with the Phaser 3 Game Engine.During the development process two days where all about to understanding how the game engine works and design how the game should look. Time was spent creating several assets to achieve an exceptional design. The final days consisted of building the project in order to produce a fully functional space shooter game that has different features to allow players to enjoy game play.

Built With

The Game was built with the following technologies:

• Javascript
• Phaser Game Engine
• HTML
• CSS
• Webpack
• Eslint
• Stylelint
• npm

Procedual Design

The design process was a challenge I was up for. At the end of day two, I had partially mastered Phaser. The main things I focused on was how to handle the physics and motion frameworks it provides. I also managed to organise all my assets which I imported from different sources and modified to my liking. On the third day I started building the project while keeping the following concepts in mind:

• MVP - Building the main functionality before going further in implementing additional features.
• I made sure that the build was deployable by enabling it to work locally and via a hosting service.
• Use coding partners that would make my code easy to read.
• The visual aspect of the game is subject to change, I made sure I met all functionality requirements I laid out before proceeding.
