This was my first proper dive into game programming, and, as a reflection of the project, I'm ecstatic that I was able to get a game made to this level in the amount of time I spent making it.

Things I want to implement next time

  • player lives

Some issues/questions I still have

  • I don't fully understand what code should be in _update() and _draw() (that is -- I don't know how or why I should separate code between these two functions.)
  • I don't know how to rotate sprites. I wanted to have the character rotate without having to create a different sprite set.
  • I didn't figure out how to reduce speed when travelling diagonally.

Special thanks

  • Dylan Bennet for the excellent tutorials on YouTube.
  • Ztiro Moritz for the "Shooter in 16 gifs" tutorial:
    • the "for e in all(enemies)" code
    • the explosion code
    • the collision code
  • Lazy Devs on YouTube for the most detailed tutorials I've seen

I'm glad to play your game and it's fun!


FYI

- Sometimes enemy doesn't spawn for minutes

- It would be better the shooting scene has your music...!

Hey Kai! Thanks for the comment.

Yes, I know this game is not perfect. There are a lot of things still “wrong” with it. The mobs definitely could spawn more quickly…

And yes, adding music would certainly make it more fun :)

I’m very happy to hear that you played it though! <3

Thank you so much for the feedback!!!
