DogFight

DogFight is a 2D game I created as the final project for Programming 1, where two players control their own planes and try to shoot each other down.

Features

• Two players (green and gray) control separate planes and can move freely in all directions on the screen.
• Shoot bullets to try and hit your opponent.
• Collisions between planes decrease both players' scores.
• Bullets can collide with each other and disappear upon impact.
• The game keeps track of each player’s score, and a winner is declared when someone reaches 10 points.

Installation and Running the Game

1. Clone this repository to your computer:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/DogFight.git

2. Open the project in your Java IDE (e.g., IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse).

3. Build and run the project by executing the GameCanvas class, which contains the main game loop and keyboard handling.

4. Alternatively, you can compile and run the game from the terminal:

   javac GameCanvas.java
   java GameCanvas
