Welcome to the documentation for my Space Invaders. This project is a custom-engineered remake of the classic Space Invaders, implemented using a real-time game engine (Azul.Engine) and built entirely in C#.
✨ 157 total classes | 🔄 Data-driven architecture | 💡 10+ software design patterns used
This project is a modern, performance-optimized clone of the classic arcade game Space Invaders. Built with architectural precision and game design in mind, the system handles:
- Multiple alien types (Squid, Crab, Octopus)
- Player-controlled ship with missile firing
- 3 types of bombs with dynamic movement
- Shields with erosion mechanics
- Animated UFOs with scoring logic
- Real-time collision handling and object pooling
- Scene and state management (Start, Play, Game Over)
- Level progression system with increasing difficulty
- Language: C#
- Game Engine: Custom framework based on Azul.Engine
- Design Patterns: Factory, Observer, Proxy, Command, Composite, Strategy, Visitor, State, Iterator, Object Pooling
- Data-Driven Architecture: Enables scalable, modular development
- Custom Timer & Command System: Allows scheduled real-time actions (animations, alien movement, etc.)
- Composite Pattern for GameObject Trees: Used for alien grids, shields, and collision trees
- State Pattern: Controls transitions between menus, gameplay, and end states
- 3 alien types with unique point values (10, 20, 30)
- 3 bomb types with unique fall behavior (Zigzag, Rolling, Dagger)
- 4 destructible shields
- Missile and bomb collision interactions
- UFO appears at random intervals with sound and scoring
- Lives and scoring system
- Game loop with escalating difficulty and round progression
