This project is a recreation of the classic arcade game Galaga. The player controls a spaceship that can move left and right and shoot bullets. Perfectly timed bullets can pierce through enemies. Enemies fly in from the top of the screen and move in a random direction. If the player collides with an enemy, they lose a life. If the player shoots an enemy, the enemy is destroyed and the player gains points. The player can also gain points by destroying a formation of enemies. The game is over when the player loses all of their lives. There is an infinite loop of levels, so the player can play forever.

This project was created using React and TypeScript. The game uses a canvas element to display the game. The canvas is a 2D element, so the game is displayed in 2D.
