This was our first time creating a video game or using a graphics user interface, so we wanted to created a game with very basic mechanics. We distorted a standard spaceship shooting game by adding real images of ourselves and LHS.

You shoot stars from a larger star to defeat the students trying to enter the school. They get faster and faster as the levels get higher.

We built it using Java swing and photoshop, featuring some tutorials for using the graphics user interface.

We have never used a graphics interface before, so we had a lot of trouble trying to understand what areas of the code we could edit to fit our game, such as adding levels, importing images, adding a timer, and many other key aspects of a game.

We are especially proud of the simple reactive animation we added with the star changing color when firing a missile. We are also proud of making the students bounce off the edges of the window.

We learned a lot about animating objects, java swing, and creating multi-class projects.

Next, we hope to have animate walk cycles for the students and create a more diverse game experience.
