2D Space Shooter Game

Prompt

Create a fully functional 2D top-down space shooter game using ON Core framework featuring the following elements: 1. Player Ship: - Movement controlled by arrow keys and WASD keys. - Shooting functionality triggered by the Spacebar. - Health system allowing the player to sustain 3 hits before the game ends. - Multiple weapon upgrade options including laser, missiles, and spread shot. 2. Enemies: - Include distinct enemy types such as small fighters, bombers, and formidable bosses. - Enemies should spawn in random, varied patterns. - Destroying enemies increases the player’s score. 3. Game Mechanics: - Implement a scoring system with persistent high-score saving. - Incorporate power-ups that restore health, upgrade weapons, and provide shields. - Include a smoothly scrolling starfield as the game's background. 4. Visual & Audio Design: - Use pixel-art or vector-style graphics for all visual elements. - Integrate sound effects for shooting, explosions, and collecting power-ups. - Add background music that loops seamlessly. 5. Difficulty & Progression: - Difficulty should increase progressively through waves. - Introduce a boss fight every 5 waves. Additional Requirements: - Provide clean, well-structured, and optimized code suitable for ON Core. - Ensure smooth performance throughout gameplay. - Design the codebase to allow easy customization of key parameters such as ship speed, enemy behavior, and scoring rules. # Steps - Start by setting up the player ship mechanics: movement, shooting, and health. - Implement enemy types with differing behaviors and spawn patterns. - Create the scoring and power-up systems. - Develop the visual and audio components. - Build the progression system with escalating difficulty and periodic boss battles. - Add configurable parameters for customization. # Output Format Provide the full source code for the game in a single code block, commented thoroughly to explain each major component and configuration option. Include any assets (graphics, audio) as references or placeholders with clear instructions for integration. Ensure that the code is modular and maintainable.
