GameCraft Starter: Space Dodge

Build a 2D game where you control a spaceship to dodge asteroids and rack up points!

Project Overview

Goal: Create a Space Dodge game using JavaScript and p5.js.

Tasks:

  • Add the p5.js library via CDN in the HTML tab.
  • Draw a spaceship and asteroids using p5.js canvas in the JavaScript tab.
  • Implement keyboard controls (arrow keys) to move the spaceship.
  • Add collision detection to end the game if the spaceship hits an asteroid.
  • Display a score based on survival time or dodged asteroids.

Skills Learned: JavaScript (game logic), p5.js (graphics, input handling), game mechanics (collision detection, scoring).
