Project Description
Retro arcade space shooter prototype I made using Haxe and HaxeFlixel with the Nape physics engine.
I started by recreating the Asteroids demo project found on the Flixel website, then added stuff I liked and/or wanted to learn to use like physics, particle effects, screen shake, enemies in the form of mines that follow and explode on contact, an open world and camera system.
Development has stalled for now, this was my first Flixel project so the code is messy and I need to find the will to restructure some classes before adding more stuff. I learned a lot from making the game though.
