In a world where drones
reign the skies, the air force is sparsely populated by pilots. The few pilots who do enlist in the force, however, pilot
magnificent ships known as Roidian Class fighters. You begin the game as one of these new pilots, when suddenly on a routine
scouting mission you are attacked by drones!

This game is one of the most complex games we
have created for the competitions, in that there was much to learn and use to design the engine. We started off with the general idea for wanting to make an overhead
flying-shooter, so I needed to figure out some way to design the levels so that they were easy to create, but simple to program and manipulate. Eventually I decided
upon using a basic bezier curve algorithm to plot out the paths of the units.
The next step was to work on the customization part of the game. We wanted to be able to customize the colors of the ship, so to do so I utilized an image library
to load the bitmaps and manipulate the colors depending on what the user choose. This worked by having Chiashia work out a color scheme on the ships which I then
applied a simple algorithm to searching certain hues and applying the set color that the user chose.
