2D Game Workflow

In this screenshot I am creating the character sprite for the game. This is used as
the visual representation of the player in the game.
Here I am adding a collision mask, this allows the player to hit limits of the game
screen so that they can’t go out of the game level and get hit by enemy lasers.

In this screenshot I am creating an object using the player sprite, the object is
what you will control in the game, the sprite is added to make it visual on screen.
This is the screen adding code to allow the player sprite to move, using W,A,S,D.

Here I am creating a room for the character to move around in, this will have a
background added too it, and limits at the top, bottom, left and right.
This is an image from the first time testing the game, in the screenshot I am using
the W,A,S,D keys to move the player around the room.

Here I am adding a background to the room I created, the background was
created the same way as the player sprite.
This is that background added to the game level, so that when controlling the
character in the game the background will be stars rather than just black.

Testing the game with the background, as you can see the background now has
stars rather than just a black background, there are two backgrounds that move
at different speeds to create a sense of depth.
Adding a laser to the spaceship that is used as its weapon, the enemy will
automatically shoot the laser and it will move towards the enemy. The player
then has to evade the lasers.

Adding code for the space ships particle system, this is going to be the jet that is
behind the player spaceship that will active when it is moving.
This is the screen for adding sounds to the game, this sound is played every time
the player presses the “enter” key that Is they key that shoots the player laser.

Here I am creating an enemy sprite, it is created in the same way that the player
was created.
This is a screenshot from adding more code for the enemy character, this allows
the enemy’s to spawn into the level off screen and then gradually appear as you
progress through the level.

Here I am adding sound effects that activate when the enemy dies, this is put
together with a visual explosion to create the effect of the spaceship being
destroyed.
Here are the enemy’s exploding in the game, the sound plays when the enemy’s
blow up.

Adding code to make the enemy’s automatically shoot lasers, these lasers then
seek out the players spaceship who has to avoid them.
This is the screen where I was adding code for a health bar in the game, to
represent the players current life points and how close they are to being blown
up.

This is the heath bar (top right) it decreases every time the player is hit by an
enemy laser when it reaches 0 the player ship blows up in a similar way to the
enemy ships.
This is the code that makes the player character blow up when the shield bar
reaches 0

And this is the screen where I added text to the game that displayed the number
of enemy’s you have killed so far.
