Saiph is a top-down 2D space shooter game where waves of increasingly difficult enemy spacecraft spawn in the level, and you must use your abilities to defeat them all. These abilities include a laser, a rocket launcher, a deflector shield, and more. You can use the in-game shop to purchase more powerful upgrades for your ship, as well as better ship models. If you defeat every wave of enemies, the final boss will appear. Defeating this boss will result in victory.

This game was created in C++ for a class at Full Sail University. As this was one of my earliest classes, most of the structure of the game's code was created by the professor, and my job was to add new features to the game, such as the deflector shield, or fix broken features, such as the shop. This project was an exercise in reading another person's code, and it introduced me to how to use Tortoise Git to perform various tasks with Github, such as committing, pushing, pulling, using branches, and merging branches.
