Inspiration
The game centipede was the inspiration.
What it does
It is a rough recreation of the video game centipede
How we built it
I used Java to create this game
Challenges we ran into
Getting the collision between the centipede with the laser to work properly was surprisingly difficult
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I'm proud that it is playable
What we learned
I learned that you must have a clear plan and direction when creating a game.
What's next for centipede
fully finishing the recreation including a score board and multiple modes
