The document describes the process of creating a spaceship shooting game in steps. First, the creator designed a square sprite for their spaceship and added color. They then created a collision mask using a diamond shape for smoother movement. Code was written to control the sprite's movement around the room. Enemies and projectiles were designed and coded to fire at the player. Sound effects and a shield system were added. Finally, a boss enemy and scoring system were implemented to complete the game.

1. First I had to create my sprite. However to do this I needed to decide on the
amount of pixels that were going to be on it, this was not that hard to decide
as all it needed to be was a square. I made the sprite look like a kind of
spaceship and added some colour to it that I thought went well with my ideal
thee of the game.
Then, I had to create the collision mask for my sprite. I could either use presets
for it, change it myself or make it fit to the exact shape. I decided to use a
diamond shape instead of creating it to fit the exact shape. My reasoning for

2. this is because in previous tests this was rather glitchy and it would either not
register or register in the wrong places.
After that I created the coding to move the sprite. I opened up a place to type
the code and then started to write it. However I added hints in using “///”. I did
this so that if I needed to edit the code later, I knew what code did what to my
game.

3. Then I needed to create my room for the game. I created the preset to the
room and also put it to the resolution that I believed fit. This then opened up a
tool that was similar to paint and in this I used the fill tool to make the
background light blue to look like a sky and I created the clouds by creating
alot of circles and merging them together.
I then edited the code that I used for my user sprite and added in two
functions. These functions were to shoot with a singular button press and then
one to fire a constant stream, this feature was added in because I did not know
which I wanted to implement into the game, however in the end I decided to
add both.

4. After that, I needed to add sound effects to the firing of my sprite. I collected
some that were already pre-made for me and then I added them and I made
these uncompressed. The reasoning for this is because the sound file was not
that long, therefore it would not make the game load any slower.
However, I then needed to create a projectile for my sprite to shoot. I did this
the same way that I created my ship, however this time I instead created a
circle that fit the entire sprite and coloured it red, I then did it again but made

5. different colours such as black, yellow and red. These then merged together to
create one sprite that would alternate colours. I then wrote in the code to
make this fire from my sprite.
Then I created something that I would be able to shoot and destroy, so I
created a sprite for it, made the collision mask and then coded in a projectile
for them to shoot and also for them to move.

6. I then coded in for the enemy to be destroyed and also for it to make a sound
effect and a visual effect for it also.

7. Then, I created a destruction animation for my sprite being destroyed the
same way that I created my enemy projectile. Then I coded it into the game,
this time it was a little different however because the coding that I did was
added into my sprite and also I needed to make the enemy stop firing when I
was destroyed.
Then, I coded in a shield for my sprite. This was made so that it was not
destroyed the second that it was hit. This was really simple as I created
something that would soak up the damage that collided with my animation
and I also created a bar at the top of the screen to show how much of my
shield was left.

8. I then created a boss monster by just making it a bigger version of my normal
enemy and I increased the same that it did to my shield. I made the sprite
bigger to show that it was meant to be the boss. I then had to code it and
make the collision mask of it as well as positioning it in the room. Then I made
a scoring system for my game so that when you destroyed an enemy, you
gained points and I made it visual in the top left part of the screen as well as
deciding what font I wanted to use.
