 I've started with Swift programming some month ago. After some simple "Hello world!" programs, I've started with a game. It's a Shoot'em Up with a space setting. The game genre is classic. You control a tiny space ship through an asteroid field. You can shoot the asteroids with your lasers and earn points for your score board. The game speed and the asteroids increase over time. The game is over when your ship is destroyed. Seeking new high scores and fulfilling achievements ist the motivation for new runs. The game name is just a working title and there are still some game features missing. The newest version is ver. 0.40. The whole project can be found in my repository on GitHub under: https://github.com/Stish/iOS/tree/master/iOS_Game_003 Some weeks ago, I've recorded two gameplay videos. There are massive changes in the meantime, but the core game features is shown in the videos. Enjoy them :) Devlog ToDo - enemies - nebulas - Add new game features to tutorial - Improve sprites - Different ship sprites? - More Shields - Horizontal movement ver 0.40 - Number of destroyed asteroids is tracked for achievements - Data for achievements is saved - 6 achievements added - Achievements: 01: "Master Blaster" Task: Destroy 100000 asteroids Reward: New skin 02: "Wreck-it NAME" Task: Get hit 30 times in one game Reward: Shields +1 03: "Gunslinger" Task: Hit 300 asteroids without missing in one game with standard laser Reward: New weapon: Disruptor 04: "Dodge this!"
