- Description: Codebase for implementing the game Paratroopers 2018 using the Unity-2D gaming engine written in C# and Javascript. The game is a modern-day version of the classic 1982 MS DOS-based game Paratrooper, written by Greg Kuperberg and published by Orion Software.
- Developers: Paratroopers 2018 co-developed by Arneish Prateek and Sansiddh Jain in November 2018 as a part of practical coursework requirements in COP701: Software Systems Lab (Sem-I 2018-19, Instructor: Prof. Smruti R. Sarangi) at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi.
- Features: The developers have added modern-day graphics and animations leveraging the power of the Unity-2D engine. The game features multiple difficulty levels, backgrounds and attacks weapons alongside a wide array of gaming control options.
- An online demo of Paratroopers 2018 using Unity WebGL can be found here, and a YouTube video of the original Paratrooper gameplay here.
- Unity-2D assets used in the project are not included in the repository.
- Interested developers can easily understand the gaming control logic in the appropriate source files. A prior working knowledge of the Unity-2D API for (mostly) C# is, however, necessary.
- References: The most useful tutorials on making video games on Unity-2D was from the YouTube channel Brackeys.
- Open-sourced: Made solely for academic purposes.
