Inspiration

80s 8-bit arcade games, spaceships. Also we like space!

What it does

This is a shooting game: the spaceship should shoot asteroids and aliens flying towards it. It's also a way to test your coding skills. For every 10 points you score, a new coding challenge pops up, which you must complete in order to advance.

How we built it

Javascript, HTML, CSS, pixilart, Photoshop

Challenges we ran into

We had one person building the coding challenge components, and everyone else was working on the game itself. We had trouble combining the two files at the end, but we've solved the problem.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Everything. We made our own character art! And we won Best Game at HackSmith with this project!

What we learned

How to really use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build an interesting and dynamic webpage with sound and pictures.

What's next for SpaceWars 2050

It will be transformed into a full-fledged website with smoother transitions and better user experience!

Created by

I worked on the background - everything from creating the space art to creating the animation. The animation looks simple but since this is the first time I've never really done anything with CSS animation, it took me a while. I also worked on the collision detection and explosion function, adding explosion effects, helped with debugging, and cleaned up the character art. Used: HTML, CSS, JavaScript

I worked on much of the graphics aspects — creating the characters in the game.

* I worked on the coding challenge part: transition, page set up, display of questions/answers and editable text box
* I also merged together a layout file and a separately written game file. This task is still in progress, as files need to be merged into one html for us to implement the rest of our ideas

I worked on the functions for the game. My contributions were: shooting (keypress), movement of asteroids and aliens, collisions in the game (between spaceships/aliens/asteroids and the lasershots/aliens/asteroids), sound effects, counting lives and counting the score. I worked entirely with JavaScript for these functions.
