Star Wars: Galaxian

Port Description:
Originally developed by Alexandr "Shirson" Nevskiy using the exEngine, this project is a port to FPC and raylib. V-Sync now works flawlessly.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is heavily inspired by the classic Galaxian and features a Star Wars theme.

Key Features

The game features three distinct enemy types, each with unique characteristics:

• TIE Fighter – The standard mass-produced fighter. Fires dual lasers. Destroying one awards 1,000 points.
• TIE Interceptor – Fires a spread of four lasers, covering a much wider area than the TIE Fighter. Awards 2,000 points.
• TIE Bomber – Drops slow-moving bombs that explode to cover a massive area. Awards 3,000 points (and trust me, they are worth every point :)).

Enemies spawn off-screen and assemble into formations that sweep back and forth across the screen. The number of stages is theoretically infinite, featuring 5 main formation types.

• Enemies do not attack while assembling into formation (take advantage of this, or things will get tough later!).
• The fewer enemies remain, the more frequently they attack.
• Occasionally, enemies break off to form temporary strike groups and attack together.
• If the player is shot down, the game monitors the battlefield and waits for a safe moment to respawn. Enemies are ordered to abort their current attacks and return to formation.
• Destroying an enemy in formation causes it to explode immediately. However, if destroyed in mid-flight, there's a chance it will lose control and spiral downward in an arc, leaving a trail of fire.
• Colliding with an enemy results in instant death.

Power-Ups

For every 70,000 points, a random power-up spawns on the battlefield. There are three types:

• 🔴 Red "Rapid Fire" – Increases your fire rate. Can be stacked up to three times.
• 🟢 Green "+1 Life" – Grants an extra life.
• 🔵 Blue "Multi-Shot" – Adds a spread to your shots. Can be stacked up to two times.

Note: If your ship is destroyed, all collected power-ups are lost.

Additional Details

• Both in flight and in formation, enemies like to show off by doing barrel rolls and flips (they're just rookies, what do you expect?).
• I've tried my best to capture the authentic Star Wars atmosphere, complete with the music, a Lucas-style opening crawl (well, almost :)), the scrolling text, and I've even adopted the classic phrasing style :)

Have fun playing, and may the Force be with you! :)
