Links, repository & detailsAbout
Space Invaders is a 1978 fixed shooter developed and published by Taito, in which the player defeats descending waves of aliens using a horizontally moving laser cannon; it set the template for the fixed-shooter genre. Hopson-Arcade is a collection of small arcade-style games built with C++17 and SFML. Currently it contains a single game, a Space Invaders clone, which was the first game added to the collection.
Getting started
SFML must be installed first (available via most Linux package managers, or manually on Windows), after which the project can be built and run using its included build and run scripts, with separate debug and release modes.
