We have a lot of work to do, so let's quickly list the main tasks at hand:
Create
Create the level by parsing an XML file containing level data
Create the player
Create the HUD
Move the enemies
Update
Fire player and enemy bullets
Collision detection
Level completion and game over conditions
However, before we complete all these tasks, we need to define the classes for our three major game play entities: player, enemy, and brick.
Our Player entity inherits from CustomSprite and can die and come back to life, but only twice. The third time it dies, the game is over! Let's take a look at the significant functions that make our Player entity brave and enduring:
void Player::Enter()
{
// initially position the player below the screen
setPosition(ccp(SCREEN_SIZE.width * 0.5, SCREEN_SIZE.height * -0.1));
// animate the move into the screen
CCActionInterval* movement = CCEaseBackOut::create(CCMoveTo::create(
1.0f, ccp(SCREEN_SIZE.width * 0.5, SCREEN_SIZE.height...
