You will be creating your own version of the 'Galaga' game.

This is provided as inspiration, but the possibilities are vast

$($eg$.$ Raiden. Strikers $1945)$

Requirements

Multiple Scenes

The game must involve at least $4$ scenes, there must be a:

Loading $/$ splash scene

Main menu scene

Main game scene

Leaderboard scene

You should be able to navigate between the scenes

Note: each scene needs to only be navigable by at least one

other scene $($with the exception of the loading scene, it can be a

time$-$oriented screen$)$

Loops

The game must use at least $3$ loops which are fundamental to

the operation of the program.

Arrays

The game must incorporate at least $3$ arrays, with at least $1$ of

the arrays being used to manage a list of objects on the screen

$($such as opponents$).$

Interactivity

There must exist player interaction using a keyboard. The

game needs to handle at least $3$ keyboard keys.

Images

There must be at least $1$ image present in the final product

$($separate to sprites$)$ that is drawn at an appropriate size.

Note: it is up to you which scene you incorporate the image in$.$

Sprites

The $p5$ play library must be incorporated with a minimum of $3$ Sprites

The p$5.$play library must be incorporated with a minimum of $3$

sprites used. The sprites must have collision detection

$($between sprites$)$ and must move independently. Sprites must

be animated $($i$.$e$.$ a moving object, changing size or color$)$

Video & Sound

The game should use at least $3$ sounds and $1$ video. Hint: you

can use sounds for shooting and video to introduce the game

in the main screen.

GUI Input

At least one type of GUI input is required $($e$.$g$.$ text input,

slider, button$).$ The input should affect what is drawn.

Data

The program needs to read in data from a JSON file where

each object must have at least $3$ properties. This data must be

presented in the sketch in one of the scenes.

Hint: if your themes $/$ ideas of the main game scene conflict

with using external data, use the data in the leaderboard scene.

Stability

The game must feel stable to play. Your game should not feel

'buggy'.

Creativity

You must produce creative work that adds complexity to your

game.

Examples of creative work that add complexity to your game

include:

Having multiple types of enemies

One may shoot lasers slow but move fast, the other

may shoot lasers fast but move slow

$-$Having a dynamic background

Stars $($sprites or images$)$ may traverse down the

screen in a straight line, being generated at random

rates & positions from the top of the screen

Having multiple modes of fire

Your ship may fire in a straight line in its unaltered

state, but when picking up a 'bonus' blob $($that

traverses down the screen every $20$ seconds, $30$

seconds if missed$)$ the ship has an altered mode of

fire, such as shooting in multiple directions.

$-$UI & Fonts

You may download and use custom fonts that better

fit your theme.

Score & Sound Effects

Play a special sound every $10$ enemies destroyed and each object must have at least $3$ properties. This data must be

presented in the sketch in one of the scenes.

Hint: if your themes $/$ ideas of the main game scene conflict

with using external data, use the data in the leaderboard scene.

The game must feel stable to play. Your game should not feel

You may download and use custom fonts that better

fit your theme.

Score & Sound Effects

Play a special sound every $10$ enemies destroyed and

add relevant bonus scoring.

$-$Enemy health

Enemies only fall after being hit $3$ times. Use an

array to store the health of individual enemies and

update it upon collision detection.

Ability to change the difficulty of game

Could be as simple as having two difficulty options

that change the number of lives available, or as

creative as having increased speed of incoming fire $/$

increased toughness of opponents.

You are encouraged to create your own assets $($i$.$e$.$ opponents

or laser fire$)$ on top of using public assets from the internet.

Note: the ability to creatively expand your game is highly

dependant on having basic functionality, such as interactivity.

Code

You must produce clean, well$-$written code. This encompasses

indentation, meaningful naming of functions & variables, use

& overuse of absolute val
