JavaFX Game: Space Invaders (for Beginners)
658We build a simple foundation for a clone of Space Invaders using JavaFX.
Difficulty: Beginner-Intermediate
Improvements:
1. Smoother movement. In setOnKeyPressed() have moveLeft = true; In update() have if (moveLeft) moveLeft(). Same for other input actions.
2. Enhance Sprite capabilities by introducing Image and ImageView, so you can use images instead of Rectangle.
3. More levels. Create a data structure Level where you can store each level's enemy layout.
4. Add movement feature to enemies, so that they move left / right and drop down like in Space Invaders.
5. Make the game more fun and enjoy!
