Does anyone have fond memories of the arcade game 'Space Invaders' from the 1980s? Or if you are too young, you can give this version, "Phage Attack", a go. It was developed by Jerome Mutterer, who says, "I used @p5xjs to make this very nice journal cover playable. Try it here: https://editor.p5js.org/jmutterer/full/1jNvJggiU." (Source: Tweet)
