1. Creating a Sprite

For this task I created my own Sprite from scratch using various tools that were made available to me such as a pencil, rubber and many colours.

2. Modifying my Sprite

In order to modify my sprite I changed the bounding box to automatic, and I made the shape a rectangle so it covers my entire sprite.

3. Creating Objects

For this section I created objects to make the object move in directions I wanted it to go to. I made a ‘step’ event which allowed me to adjust the movement by creating codes to make the sprite move.

4. Coding my Sprite

For this part of the programming I created a code in which my sprite was to follow. I created the code so that the “WASD” letters on my keyboard controlled the sprites movement. I also coded it so that when the sprite hit the border/threshold, it was prevented from moving further past the threshold and therefore can’t go out of the map/screen.

5. Creating my Level

This image shows the process of creating my level. As you can see I have premade enemy sprites and friendly bullets which take out 5 of the enemies, to make the level a bit easier.

6. Setting sprite Limits

This image shows the limits to my sprite. My sprite can only go to certain areas on the screen and cannot leave the screen. This is to prevent my sprite from being lost or breaking the game.

7. Creating a scrolling background

This image shows the process of creating a scrolling background. This is to add effect and make the background a lot less scary.

8. Particle System Effect

This image shows the coding of my sprites ‘smoke’ particle effect. Unfortunately the particle effect broke my game so it had to be removed.

9. Player Projectile & Sound

This image shows my sprites projectile. This is what the sprite fires when space is pressed down.

This image shows the sound file for my sprites projectiles.

11. Enemy Object Spawner

This image shows the sprite is spawning in the game and is firing projectiles at me.

12. Enemy Destroyed by Projectiles

This image shows the enemy sprite being destroyed by my projectiles and has been replaced by an explosion effect.

13. Enemy Projectile

This image shows the enemy sprites projectile. This is what the enemy sprite will fire at me.

14. Shield Variable

This image shows the coding to the shield. This shows how much shield I have. Whenever I get hit, the shield will go down.

15. Player Destroyed

This image shows the player sprite has just been destroyed. The player sprite also has its own explosion effect when destroyed.

16. Score System

This image shows the score system of my game. Every time I get a kill, my score will increase by 1.

17. Enemy 2

This image shows the second enemy sprite in the game. This enemy does not fire projectiles, it just acts as a barricade and goes vertically instead of horizontally.
