Video Game Programming Assignment - week 3 part A by Elyasaf

Features Implemented

Part A: Core Features

1. Score Display
   • The player's score is displayed at a fixed position on the screen.
2. Health Points (HP) System
   • The player starts the game with three health points.
   • Each collision with an enemy reduces the player’s HP by one.
   • When the player's HP reaches zero, the spaceship is destroyed.
   • Health pickups occasionally spawn on the screen. When collected, they restore one HP.
   • A visual UI element shows the player’s remaining HP in a clear and intuitive way.
3. Enemy Types and Scoring
   • Two types of enemies:
     • Slow Enemy: Awards 1 point when destroyed.
     • Fast Enemy: Awards 2 points when destroyed.
   • The implementation uses generalizable and extensible code, making it easy to add more enemy types with different behaviors and point values.

Part B: Original Features

1. Point-Based Level Progression
   • Instead of moving to the next level upon reaching a specific location, the player progresses to the next level by earning a required number of points.
2. Screen Boundaries
   • The player’s spaceship cannot leave the screen boundaries, ensuring the gameplay stays within visible and interactive areas.

How to Play

1. Basic Controls
   • Use keyboard or WASD inputs to control the spaceship.
   • Collect health pickups to restore lost health.
2. Scoring
   • Destroy slow and fast enemies to earn points.
   • Reach the target score to advance to the next level.
3. Survival
   • Avoid enemy collisions to conserve health points.
   • Collect health pickups to increase survival time.
