Air Battle

Inspiration

The inspiration for Air Battle came from classic arcade games like 1942 and Raiden.

What it does

Air Battle is a retro style game that lets you pilot a fighter plane and engage in dogfights against enemy aircraft.

How we built it

Air Battle is built using the Pygame library, which provides a framework for creating 2D games in Python. I used various tools and techniques such as collision detection, sprite masks for pixel perfect collision, and sound mixing to create a polished and immersive game.

Challenges we ran into

I had to balance the difficulty and pacing of the game to make it challenging but not frustrating for players.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of creating a game that is both fun and nostalgic to play. Also, I learned new skills while developing this game which has helped me grow my perspective.

What we learned

I learned how to use Pygame to create 2D games in Python, and how to implement various game mechanics such as movement, shooting, and collision detection.
