This new version of Space Explorer features infinite scrolling, smoke particles that are affected by scrolling, and bullets that are affected by scrolling. This is an improved version of a project I made in 2017, with all the things I wanted to add but couldn't add at the time because I didn't know how. Leave all update ideas in the comments! ☺ Update 3/15/2020: Replaced / Added new sound Update 3/17/2020: Added Crystals Update 4/11/2020 Made crystal-spawning toggleable Update 4/18/2020 Programmed a new velocity system in which projectiles launched by the ship are affected by the ship's velocity rather than only moving in a single static speed, and improved the title scripts. Update One Hour Later: I realized a much simpler and more efficient way do achieve what I was going for than before, so I shelved my previously made scripts for the current ones now. Update 4/20/2020 Tweaked the bullet scripts to change colors when shot while under speed boost, and made the scattering less random. Update 4/25/2020 Improved the space scripts, debugged the variable visibility scripts, and improved layering scripts, and made smoke move seamlessly in & out of the screen. Update 8/13/2020 Made crystals collide against the ship and projectiles, separated the smoke from the ship sprite, added planets and navigation arrows 2020 macncheese0
