Customizable Arcade Shooter

カーネギーメロン大学のLuca Damascoさんが作ったGalucaというゲーム(2015)をRaspberry PiやRaspberry Pi Desktop（PC/Mac）の環境で動かせるようにしました。Python２でPygameを使って書かれています。元々はGalaga（ギャラガ）というアーケードゲームのリメイクです。タイトーのスペース・インベーダー(1978)大ヒットに続いてナムコが送り出したGalaxian(1979), Galaga(1981), Gaplus(1984)３部作の２作目に当たります。フルカラー化、編隊を組んでの降下攻撃などスペース・インベーダーから大幅にアップデートされたシューティングゲーム黎明期の名作です。

カーネギーメロン大学のプログラミング初学者向け講座での課題で制作されたようで、敵機の襲来パターンをカスタマイズできる機能が追加されています。

This is the README for GALUCA Created by Luca Damasco

Galuca was created as a term project for Carnegie Mellon University's Introduction to Programming class 15-112. It is meant to replicate the fixed shooter arcade game Galaga (originally published in 1981 by Namco and Midway). It also aims to allow user to customize their gaming experience by creating their own enemies movement paths. Main complexities include determining movement patterns of enemies based on the location of the fighter, movement of enemies in formation, and translation of user generated paths and sprites into functional game movement algorithms.

Programming Language: Python 2.7 32 bit #Pygame 1.9 only has 32 bit support and will not run with 64 bit versions.

Module's Used: Pygame 1.9 Downloaded from Pygame.Org The pygame audio mixer was also used. (packaged with pygame 1.9) Instructional materials used were found on Pygame.org and Youtube.com (Tutorials from "thenewboston")

CopyRight notices: Sprites are from Namco-Midway's GALAGA

Sprite Materials were "ripped" by JDASTERE4
(Found on google images when searching "Galaga Sprite Sheets")

Sounds are from Namco-Midway's GALAGA
Sounds were purchased from iTunes under "Galaga" by NAMCO SOUNDS
