Nova Strike is a 2D space shooter game implemented with an Atmel ATmega32 microcontroller.
The inspiration came from our love of video games and fond memories of playing space shooters on our TI-89 graphing calculators in high school (instead of paying attention in calculus class).
Our project is based on the revolutionary arcade game, Galaxian, made by Namco. The main goal of Galaxian is to pilot a spaceship and rid the galaxy of enemy spaceships. Successive waves of spaceships are more aggressive, making the game more challenging as it progresses.
