Devlog 3: JavaScript

I finally wrote the JavaScript. The main movement and shooting are now working, and enemies appear on the screen. The game is playable for the first time, even though it is still rough.

The boss keeps giving me problems and I could not get it to work properly. I decided to leave it for later instead of wasting more time on it today. Another issue is that the ship can only move left and right along a horizontal line. I plan to change this so it moves freely in every direction while you control it.

Completed

• Main JavaScript
• Shooting
• Movement (horizontal only for now)
• Enemies showing on screen
• Pause button

Known issues

• The boss is not working properly
• The ship can only move along a horizontal line

Remaining

• Fix the boss
• Add free movement in all directions

Next steps

Fixing the movement comes first, since it affects how the whole game feels. Then I will go back to the boss.
