Zapped
Project Overview
Zapped is a game I coded in Javascript P5.js
Storyline: The player is a rocketship trying to get over the other side of the plane field to avoid getting attacked by the aliens. The player has 3 lives and if player gets hit on the middle of the player (chest), one life will be lost. There are two levels of the game easy and hard that have two different features both of which features the rocketship in some real tough situations.
Objectives
First Level: When the game runs start moving the player with the arrow keys to avoid the bullets coming towards the player. if player is hit once by the enemy in the middle of the rectangle (chest), the player will restart from the beginning of where it was initially positioned if the player is hit 3 times the screen will show YOU LOST and Press R to restart to the main level again
Second Level: once the player successfully crosses the canvas the screen will show YOU WIN. Press W to proceed to level 2 and the player has to use the same arrow controls in the first level to avoid the enemies. You can Press W once or twice to increase the difficulty Press R to restart from the first level.

Research
Before coding my game, I researched arcade and action computer games that were fun and easy to play for an beginner. One game that insipired me to make my own was space invaders. I wanted to take it a step forward and create more movement and have it more realistic taken place in a galaxy theme world with aliens and rocketships.
