First Release and Backstory


I started programming in 2014 when I learn basic HTML and visual programming language (Scratch). Game Napad na luno was one of my first projects and I published it in March 2015. It was very simple, and because I created it in old Scratch version, it used low-resolution bitmap images.

Because of all this problems, I decided to update the game. I re-drew all images again into vector images using Vectr and imported them into Scratch. I also updated some of the game using custom blocks (functions) to make it more modular. I released new version as Moon Attack v2.

Projects written in Scratch are primary meant to be used on Scratch website. However, because Scratch (since version 3.0) uses modern web technologies (JavaScript/WebGL), it is possible to convert them into standalone website. I used HTMLifier for this. However, because HTMLifier does not work best when embedded in iframe, and Itch embeds games into iframe, I also have to modify it a bit to make iframe focus on load and mouse click.

The Itch version of the game is functionally the same as original Scratch version, the only difference are updated images. However, I also plan to add more features to it in the future.
