"Space Quest"
This was my 2nd game that I made using Stencyl. It is heavily inspired by Space Invaders with an added twist such as a unique mode and new abilities that the player can pick up. A lot of time was spent in making enemy behavior as well as how enemies would spawn in order to provide a significant challenge to the player.

This game was the first time I tried to implement the Trigger Event feature in Stencyl. The main purpose for this was to inform the game on when a Wave has ended in order to spawn the next wave. For example, the game would trigger FIRSTWAVE which would proceed to spawn 6 enemies, while setting the ActiveEnemies to 6 and WaveTrigger to true. Only after all enemies are killed, would the game know to trigger the next wave after a 4 second grace period.
Enemy Spawn
PowerUp Spawn
During the initial stages of development, I thought that the Power Ups should always be useful such as only spawning an Extra Life if the player does not have 3 lives. So, this code was made. When an enemy dies, it would roll a random integer between 1 and 10. It would then spawn a random power up on the location of the enemy, which would then slowly fall down. The probability of the Power Ups also change depending on how many lives the player has, giving an incentive for the player to stay at 3 lives.

Boss Health
This code was made to inform the player on how much health the boss has left. It would draw a rectangle of varying colors above the Boss (Green, Red & Yellow). Depending on the amount of health left, the Boss would also have different phases, making the boss fight more exciting and challenging. New attacks can also be triggered by the Boss only if that specific phase has been triggered.
