IBM Sterling Transformation Extender

I don't know about you but some weeks are more stressful for me than others. I blow off steam by playing video games. I'm not a hard core gamer (no D&D) more of a pong to Space Invaders to Solitaire to Angry Birds to Fishdom kind of gal. But I was thinking, how hard could it be to make a game where IBM Sterling Transformation Extender conquered various industry and technology standards?

It turns out not too hard at all. I started with an old style campy retro space invaders template and created graphics for my sprites and other assets and in a short time (with very little pseudo code) have an ITX game. Try it out:

On a browser follow the link. The ITX> sprite is the player. Use the arrow keys to move and turn it and the space bar to explode those tricky industry and technology standards.

Take THAT HIPAA, Take THAT EDI, blast you JSON!!

Warning, I'm not good at playing shooting games so I set up the collision masks of some of the sprites to be skimpy (you might have to hit them several times to explode them!). This was my first attempt at a game ever. I used GDevelop and started with the Space Invader example. I just wanted to try one – and have something other than a video or powerpoint to put on social media to depict the power of ITX.

Hey there!

I checked out your ITX game, and it's pretty cool! I love the concept of IBM Sterling Transformation Extender conquering industry and technology standards. The retro space invaders vibe adds a fun touch, and I appreciate the creativity in using ITX as the player sprite. Taking down HIPAA, EDI, and JSON has never been more entertaining!

I also noticed your disclaimer about the collision masks, but hey, it's your first game attempt, and it's already impressive. Keep honing those gaming skills!

On a personal note, while I enjoy your ITX game, I've recently ventured into playing Fortnite. It's been a whole new gaming experience for me, and if anyone is looking to dive into Fortnite or needs some beginner tips, I found this helpful resource: Fortnite for Beginner.

Looking forward to hearing more about your game development journey and maybe some updates to the ITX game. Keep up the great work!
