Learn how to create a scrolling background texture to simulate movement in your game. We'll also use 2D parallax to simulate depth among the stars.

We create a player ship object and tie that ship's movement to player input. We also limit the movement to two dimensions and keep the ship within the confines of the visible screen area.

We create a laser for the player to fire.

We create a static enemy to oppose the player. We also set up collision detection so we can destroy it if a player hits it with a laser.

A successful enemy hit is so much more satisfying with some pyrotechnics. We add a sound effect and one-shot explosion particle effect when the enemy is hit.

We create a self-propelled laser for the enemy to fire. We also tell the enemy to fire the laser on its own at regular intervals.

Set up collision detection on the player ship and destroy it if hit by an enemy laser. We also add explosion particle effects and sound.
