It still isn’t much to look at, but I have a rudimentary game now. Both the player and enemies will die if they collide with the sun, and if the player collides with an enemy, the enemy will explode. Kills and player lives are tracked, although losing all your lives doesn’t end the game at the moment.

The next step is to add difficulty by having the enemies shoot bullets occasionally (though it’s already pretty difficult to actually collide with them.) After that I’ll probably call the gameplay itself finished, and work on a title screen, music, and improving the aesthetics.
