We started our project with just a simple physics 2D simulation of a ball with motion controlled by the wasd keys in the normal cardinal directions. We also prepared a simple sprite for our main character, who is wearing a space suit. We added him into the simulation and gave him a generic weapon, which points at the location of the mouse on screen. We added controls so that if the gun is pointing above the figure's body the gun will be created after the person and appear to be on the other side. This is what we currently have for our project:
