Star Wars: Ace and Commander is a 2D starfighter game created by C3PO the Dragon Slayer using Game Maker 7.0 Pro. It was created to practice programming computer artificial intelligence (AI) before the AI was created in the 3D Avian Hunt. In the game, a player controls a starfighter and must assist his squadron to defeat the enemy starfighters and capital ships. Two modes of gameplay exist: Skirmish mode, where a player creates two squadrons of ships and plays as a fighter in one of the factions and participates in a battle between them, and Survival mode, where a player must fight wave after wave of progressively stronger enemies.
