A recent class assignment involved creating a two-player game. I liked the idea of videogame mashups (a friend made Joust Pong) and wanted to experiment with the idea of different rulesets per player, thus Pong Invaders was born, a game where one player controls the space invaders while another player controls the iconic pong paddle in a grand badminton battle involving kamikaze aliens and lasers.
Controls:
One player controls the pong paddle at the bottom of the screen using keys: o,p
Another player controls the invaders at the top of the screen using keys: z,x. Can fire from a random invader when the meter is charged using mouse button.
Don’t miss the ball, don’t run out of invaders, don’t touch the laser.
