COVID-19 Attack!

Inspiration

I was inspired by tower defense game and game such as Berserk where you have to defend a lot of enemies by yourself

What it does

This game is centered around the novel coronavirus, COVID-19 where the player acts as an immune cell fending off incoming germs. There are 2 ways to lose, by running out of player health or by running out of human health. The human's health is represented by the purple cells. Once they are gone, the game is over. The player health is lowered every time a germ directly touches the player. Also, every few seconds, the human will gain back a cell. Every few seconds, your sight will be blacked out temporarily (you will also lose your shield during that time). Use the arrow keys to move and space to attack germs in the nearby area. Remember that your attacks will also hurt the person you are protecting's lungs.

How I built it

I used the Scratch Game Engine to make this game. Essentially, I create a huge map and randomly place the purple cells around this map. Then I created the player who was restricted by the circle border using the "touching color" statement in Scratch. I then created a list for the coordinates of each purple cell, and I created the Virus enemy. The enemy would be located in a random spot around the circle, the arena

Challenges I ran into

The main challenge was getting the coordinates of the duplicated human cells into a list. I've really never worked with lists in Scratch and by making this project, I got a better understanding on how to use lists.

What I learned

I proud of this because I wanted to improve my artistic ability in Scratch, and by making this project, I was able to do that
