My implementation of
Space Invadersin zig using raylib and an ECS.
I'm working on this game as part of The 20 Games Challange. Space Invaders is Challange #3.
- Create a player ship that moves side to side.
- Create a few different types of alien invaders.
- Enemies will move together in a grid. They cross the screen horizontally before dropping vertically and reversing their direction.
- Add the ability for the player ship to fire rockets that travel up the screen.
- Add bombs/bullets that the enemies drop. The player’s rockets can destroy enemy bullets.
- Make sure that the player’s bullets will destroy invaders, and the invader bullets will destroy the player.
- Add a mothership that will cross the screen periodically. Destroying it will result in bonus points.
- Add a UI that tracks the player score and lives left. The player starts with three lives.
