Description The Programming of the game is in C using some of the LaMothe code Some of the Artwork is created new but I am also using some sprites and bitmaps from external sources such as online

everybody It is very entertaining and does not include any content that would restrict some people from playing it It is a pretty small fun 2D game that does not require any special hardware performance to play it and it can be played many times especially to relax somebody and take their mind off of work or school Game Play The game play is observed from a side view of the main character Hector who starts off by killing different aliens and progressing trough the game Some aliens are harder to kill than others The challenging part of the game is to try to stay alive while killing as many aliens as possible As Hector gets hit by his enemies his health goes down until it reaches zero When that happens the game is over and the player is redirected to the main menu where the player can either choose to play again or to quit There are a few health packets that Hector can pick up to regenerate his health These health packets are intended to help the player and appear sometimes after killing a more deadly enemy Each level has different enemies and different settings making the game more fun and less redundant To beat the level the player has to kill all enemies and move to the end of the level After completing the first level the player will advance to the second level where the player will go trough the same strategy by killing the enemies and arriving at the end of the level Towards each level s end the player will encounter an enemy that is harder to beat which after beating him the player finds a full regeneration health pack that will prepare the player for the next level Production Tools The game is created using Visual Studio C 6 0 with the includes and libraries from DirectX 8 1 The artwork is created and modified with the help of Adobe Photoshop The
