Space Invaders: 1K Challenge
Posted: Fri Dec 01, 2017 5:23 pm
It's that time of year again!
The goal of this challenge is to create a Space Invaders clone, but here is the catch:
1.all of the code must be contained a single Lua file which should be under 1K (1024 ANSI characters)
2.no external assets or files allowed (can't use external images, sound files, fonts, etc)
3.the game should reset when you destroy all invaders or when they reach the bottom
4.the player should not be able to "break" the game (for example, by moving off-screen)
Extra credit:
difficulty should increase, animations, sound effects, hiscore or points, graphics that automatically scale to the window
The more authentic your clone, the better!
PS. Please include a .love file and instructions/controls.
