Photoshop Process First I found HD images from some of my favourite games such as Half-Life, Smash Bros, and Fire Emblem. Then I decided to start by putting in the dogfight image from Battlefield 1 which I thought would make a good background. I tweaked with it's size by holding down shift so it kept the aspect ratio until it fit. Then I took another image, cropped it with the crop tool by hitting make selection and holding down ctrl + z to inverse the selection and delete what I don't want.

I didn't have much issues with the programming besides in figuring out how the scoring system works as the tutorial had unclear instructions. The game said that I had to add the programming When: Scored 5 Points Red, Do: Game End. But that was not possible as I had to put in scored red first and then you are only allowed to put in equation signs.
