Open project · after lesson 7: A list per level

Make a game with levels: each level is a little harder (faster, more enemies, a different map), the levels come from a list, and a function sets each one up. The kind of game is yours.

One way it could look. Yours will be different.

Milestones

Tick each one when it is true of your project. Nobody marks it: be honest with yourself.

My levels come from a list (speeds, counts or colours), read by level number.
A function sets up a level, and I call it at the start and when a level is done.
There are at least three levels, and each one is harder.
Someone else played it and I changed one thing because of what they did.

Make it yours

A different background or tilemap for each level.
A title screen and a win screen.
Power-ups, as in the Power-ups challenge.
