Game development
Description
Game based on classic and iconic Space Invaders - arcade game, in which player controls the ship trying to shoot down approaching enemies. The main goal of creating such project was to apply more advanced aspects of Java language in practice. To create it, I used, among others, multithreading mechanisms, lambdas or streams. User interface was implemented with usage of Swing and AWT libraries, which provide powerful tools for building GUI and managing events within game.
