Starfox Project

Inspiration

I have always enjoyed retro games. Starfox is a simple space-flight game that I believed would be fun and challenging to implement with the P5.js library.

What it does

The Starfox spaceship flies through space and shoot lasers at asteroids, although there is no explosion event yet.

How I built it

P5.js allows for a developer to create basic shape and manipulate them with basic data structures and math.

Challenges I ran into

The math that is involved with using a simple javascript UI library is difficult and time consuming.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Although I wish I was able to stay for the full extent of the event, I enjoyed the atmosphere of the Hackathon. Starting with nothing and a few hours later being able to see the results was very satisfying.
