- Build a game that is playable in the browser
- Use design patterns to drive both the design and implementation of code
- Separate business-logic code from view-related code
- Use test-driven design to build a client-side application
- The style we chose was inspired by the original Galaga arcade game.
- We used an image sprite that consists of all the original game pieces.
- We used an 8-bit arcade font to display scoring and instructions.
- We used ES6, and webpack to bundle our files.
- We created different files that contain the game's object classes.
- Our game logic is in a separate file.
- We used a second canvas to display our background of panning stars to appear as if you are flying thru space.
- The aliens fire more frequently each new phase you enter into.
- When the player hits an alien, the player is able to fire at a quicker rate.
