About

LMT is a typing game where aliens are trying to invade Earth and you have to defend it. Each alien spaceship will have a word floating above and the player has to type out the words before they reach the planet. As the game progresses, spaceships will move at a faster rate, and begin spawning quicker and quicker. If too many aliens get through, the town will be destroyed and the game will end.

As the game progresses, aliens with larger words will start to spawn and will do so at a quicker rate. Additional information and features will be mapped out in the Functionality & MVP and Features sections.

Alien Objects

A requestAnimationFrame will rerender the alien objects by calling the Alien.update() method. This method increments the x-position of the spaceship while slightly modifies the y-position
