1. Main Menu Screen- I changed the menu music. I created a .wav file from Magix Music Maker for our 2D shooter project. This is free software for Windows and has been fun to set-up. I'm using 44.1 kHz, stereo. When I tested this, the music was garbled. Watched a YouTube video and found the fix. Music Maker- Program Settings- Audio- Driver Communication 16 bit. I also changed the name from Space Blaster to Planet Attack.  I added a new text box for instructions and added a bit about using the keyboard and mouse for control and shooting.

2. Level 1- similar to tutorial- changed player image to a planet- needed to learn to uncheck the animator box, so we could see our planet. Added a new Level Win message to warn player of next level maze. Needed to check LevelWin box to see on screen and then resize the Nextlevel button. Created new ingame music using Magix Music Maker App. I used mostly bass elements, since I think our planet should have a heavier feel to it.

3. Level 2- New Maze set-up. Increased the requirement to kill from 3 to 5 enemies. Changed enemies to all straight shooters. Seriously, I have no aim and could not beat the level otherwise. Then, I had to learn about the z axis, so I could get my stationary shooters to shoot in different directions. Added a new message for NextLevel box warning the player of the armada of enemies awaiting them. Created new music that had one less bass element for the maze, since this is more about moving around and shooting.

4. Level 3- Added more enemies, to include chasers, diagonal shooters and stationary shooters. Changed the Next Level button to “You Win!” Created music that had more tracks, there are 5 separate tracks playing together to create a more amped up atmosphere for the chasing element of this level. Created a “Hazards” element and added black holes and asteroids that could be shot and destroyed in the environment. Changed current lives to max at 5. Harder level needs more tries to defeat enemies. Changed movement speed to 20 to match the chasing from the additional enemies. Changed enemies to defeat from 3 to 5. You must shoot all enemies in this level.
