Galactic Collector

This project is based on 2D Shooter Assignment from "Game Design and Development: 2D Shooter" from Coursera (Michigan State University).

Modifications made separate from the course:

• Added a collecting mechanism so the game includes both shooting and object collection. The only type of collectible that exists right now is a coin (fully animated), but the approach taken is in no way coupled to graphic.
• Added a gradual, cohesive progression - the first two levels are very basic to introduce the separate mechanisms (shooting, and separately collecting) followed by a third level which combines the two and increases difficulty significantly.
• Added goal display (enemies and coins remaining) so the player understands the objectives of the level, and what is remaining.
• Added custom music to the third and final stage. This is music that I made in entirety.

Note for the MacOS X download, you must run two commands from the terminal on the .app file after extracting it from the .zip (at least this is the case if running Big Sur):

• sudo chmod -R 755 MacOS.app
• sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine MacOS.app
