Another classic title from the golden age of arcade games, Galaga is a fast-paced successor to Space Invaders, with enemies that spiral and swirl across the screen before plunging suicidally down onto your ship. This version is loosely based on the 1981 original, with all the original graphics and sound effects, but with simplified game mechanics that will make the code more understandable to novice programmers. In this lesson we'll program the first of three progressively harder alien enemies.
This is an edited version of a Chromeworks live stream that aired May 29, 2020.

New video every weekday at 9am for the duration of the COVID lockdown.
