To Collin: This game was created by me (Daniel) and John when I was in the seventh grade. I told you I could prove it.
Anirak
We are making a Java game called Anirak. It will be an 80's shoot-em-up game similar to Galaga or Galaxian.
We will use this web page to document our work.

Crashing into enemy ships will destroy your ship.
Changed enemy ships to new design and changed the formation.
Enemy shots become more accurate over with each level.
It still needs work, but it has progressed from the "demo" stage to playable in only 4 days of work in the evenings.
There is a title screen with basic instructions.
The game keeps track of your score, level, sheilds, and lives.
You are hurt when you are hit.
You lose your upgrades when you die.

Changed ship design.
You can now go up and down with the ship.
You get an upgraded ship when you pass the level.
You must now hit the ships more than once to kill them.
The ships fire back at you. They can hit you but it doesn't hurt yet.
There is a yellow circle that appears to indicate that you've hit a ship or that you've been hit.

Put up first version of applet. For now you can move and shoot.
Added background stars.
Added Glob Fighter. You can shoot it and it goes back to the start.
Ok, now there are four different fighters, they are animated, and they fly in formation. When you shoot all of them another wave comes.
We are discussing making the fighters smallers so they have more room to move.
