Mars Attack - Making a game with retro sprites in 10 steps

[Adrian V.]

Hello again,

I implemented another mini game using p5.js / p5.play and in-code defined sprites (e.g. text format) on the codeguppy.com platform.

The game is still basic, however I didn't construct the game to be a polished game, but instead teach various game building techniques.

 

This is the game

And this is how it was made:

 

Part 1 - Generating mountains from random lines

Part 2 - Adding a landing ramp at the end

Part 3 - Solid mountains, Stars and Stop at Ramp

Part 4 - Adding player ship using in-code defined sprites

Part 5 - Adding enemy, collisions with enemy

Part 6 - Tune scrolling speed. Scroll faster when accelerating

Part 7 - Ship shoots rockets
