UPDATE 15 MAR 2020:
- Finished 1 animated background
- Fixed bugs where player would crash at 0,0 coordinate and enemy shots would originate from there as well after first cruiser shot down.
- Restructured the main game loop (again) and have it about 90% working. It's a lot of work but the payoff has been that the game doesn't lag anymore and I'm able to implement animated backgrounds which will bring a lot of life to the levels.
- My 7-year old son made a spaceship design using Pyxel Edit so I added that to the game. :)
