The first post I want to briefly tell you about the project that inspired me to write this simulator.

It was back in 2002, on the old computer, the thickness of the monitor which could be compared to a concrete wall, I installed just released Space Rangers. Part 1. To put it mildly, the game sucked me in, but especially my attention fell on the black holes, namely the fighting mode in them. The essence of the arcade fighting mode was that, watching your ship from above, you overcame various obstacles, smashed enemies and knocked out various artifacts and sets. Olds will recall that the battle arena was a sphere, but for my game I decided to simplify this point by making the game 2D.

To summarize, the idea for the game Mars SFS. Space Invaders arena. is based on the warm nostalgia for the time when the release and download of a new game for every child was comparable to a kind of holiday, along with such celebrations as: birthday or new year.

In future posts I will tell you how the artificial intelligence has transformed my game and filled it with new colors.
