What You Just Did

Wow. Maybe this should say, "What didn't you do?" This was a long chapter, but you did some great stuff. Let's take a look:

  • You learned how to draw 2D text on the screen.

  • You randomly generated sprites of different types.

  • You added a background image.

  • You fleshed out a system to keep score.

  • You experimented with game states and implemented three states (start, in game, and end).

  • You added splash and game-over screens using game states.

  • You added power-up effects and fine-tuning logic to your game.
