Project Title: HTML5-based Space Shooter Game using JavaScript and HTML

Project Summary
This is a 2D space-themed shooter game developed using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript. The player controls a spaceship and must shoot down waves of enemies while avoiding collisions. The game emphasizes reflexes, collision detection, and smooth animations — all rendered in the browser.

Core Components

Player Spaceship

• Controlled via keyboard (arrow keys or WASD) and spacebar for shooting.
• Can move left/right and sometimes up/down.
• Fires projectiles to destroy enemies.

Enemies and Waves

• Multiple enemy types that move toward or around the player.
• Spawn in waves with increasing difficulty.
• May fire back or move in patterns.

Projectile and Collision System

• Bullets or lasers are generated when shooting.
• Collision detection checks hits between player/enemies and projectiles.
• Explosion or score effect on successful hit.

Scoring and Health System

• Player earns points for each enemy destroyed.
• Health bar decreases on collision with enemies or enemy fire.
• Game ends when health reaches zero.

Game Loop and Animation

• Uses requestAnimationFrame() for a smooth and continuous update.
• Redraws and updates all entities each frame (player, bullets, enemies).

Technologies Used

• HTML5 Canvas (for rendering game objects, effects, and background)
• JavaScript (for game logic, movement, shooting, collision, and UI)
• CSS (for styling start screen, game over screen, buttons, etc.)

Learning Outcomes

• Implementing interactive gameplay with real-time rendering
• Using canvas for animations and game physics
• Writing game loops and handling sprite movement
• Understanding object-oriented game structure in JavaScript
• Detecting and responding to collisions between moving objects

Possible Enhancements

• Power-ups (e.g., shields, triple shot, health restore)
• Boss fights or level transitions
• Background music and sound effects
• Scoreboard and high score saving with localStorage
• Mobile controls for touch devices
• Parallax scrolling space background
