For my midterm, I initially drew inspiration from the no internet dinosaur game in which it entertains the user until their wifi works again. The dinosaur game has a main object, obstacles, and keeps moving faster as the game moves on. As for my iteration of the game, I wanted to make it space-themed where the main object is a rocket-ship and the obstacles would be the planets from both sides, top and bottom. For the user to gain points, they must collect items which will be space debris or space junk in order to “clean” outer space. The game will also have a feature in which it would keep moving faster.
For my progress, I was able to get the object moving in all directions. There is currently a problem with loading the rocket-ship image, but it should be there instead of the square.
One of the other challenges is getting the background and obstacles to continuously move while detecting collisions. For this, I will be using an algorithm in which the game would be over every time the object touches an obstacle.
