AI Usage ? yes I used but ->
as ofc VBM was veryyy new for me!
This project does use AI, but only for coding help when I got stuck, mainly with bugs and figuring out why certain things weren’t working as expected. I used it to help debug and get past issues I couldn’t solve on my own.
No AI was used to create the assets or decide the creative direction of ORBITAL. The visuals, game design, and overall idea were my own. AI was basically just there when the code decided to ruin my days 😭
Orbital is now finally done - with multiple levels but the game changes from level 6 - the change can break ur streaks too, be careful
Finally - after soooo amny trys, Main Menu is here with a working Start button : also to make the Start Button Work it was the hardest part!
Orbital now have - our spaceships enemy !! - dodge the derby.
Orbital - the main board, 3 lanes, the satellite and movements are initialized - to use them - adding buttons r next !
