jwchou-final project-E

For my project, I decided to stay with the theme I had developed throughout the semester with plane-based projects.

The objective of the game is to fly the plane onto the runway while avoiding mountains and lightning. Instructions for running the game are included.

I had a really hard time with this project. My original concept was perhaps more interesting but I had an extremely hard time executing it, so I pivoted my project to this secondary concept at the last minute. However, I had a lot of fun creating it, as well as working on the styling and themes of the splash screens in particular. I hope you enjoy it!
