The Ice Cream Shoppe is about to open for the day! Your goal is to make a profit of at least $30 before the time runs out. Each customer will give you an order that consists of a flavor, a topping, and their choice of a cone or a dish.

Game Challenges

The most time-consuming obstacle was getting the laser beam to appear. I ended up using a Canvas because there wasn't a way to clear the turtle graphics.

Game Next Steps
  • Make asteroid bounce around screen
  • Asteroid gets faster as the score increases
  • High score / leaderboard
  • Make turret rotate
  • Make laser beam go slower so hitting moving target is harder
