One of my first Game Design projects, Stop the Siege is a Space Invaders clone made in the Stencyl game design engine, using the Alien Approach template as a base. Thanks to my prior experience with block coding when designing and programming sumo robots in high school, I was already immediately familiar with the Stencyl interface. It was one of my first game design projects where I put a heavy emphasis on coding, and so I took the Space Invaders game you know and love and twisted it into my own game. I managed to code in a few unique mechanics, such as a boss fight and a “ship” that rotates instead of moving left to right.
