The game's difficulty and features can be customized by modifying the level configuration. To do this, locate the levelConfig object in the index.html file. Here's an explanation of the available options:

Global Configuration

• maxLevel: The maximum number of levels in the game.
• defaultLevelDuration: The default duration of each level in seconds.

Level-Specific Configuration

Each level (1-10) can be customized with the following options:

• enemySpeed: The speed of enemies. Can be a fixed number or an object with base and variation properties for randomized speeds.
• enemySize: The size of enemies. Can be a fixed number or an object with min and max properties for varied sizes.
• enemyShape: The shape of enemies. Can be a string ('triangle', 'square', 'diamond', 'hexagon') or an array of shapes for variety.
• enemyColor: The color of enemies. Can be a string (e.g., '#f00') or an array of colors.
• canEnemyShoot: Boolean indicating whether enemies can shoot bullets.
• powerUps: An array of available power-ups for the level (e.g., ['rapidFire', 'shield', 'multiShot', 'spreadShot', 'bombClear', 'triShot']).
• duration: (Optional) The duration of the level in seconds. Overrides the default duration.
• pointMultiplier: (Optional) A multiplier for points scored in the level.
• waveMovement: (Optional) An object configuring wave-like movement for enemies:
  • enabled: Boolean to enable/disable wave movement.
  • amplitude: An object with min and max properties for the wave amplitude.
  • frequency: An object with min and max properties for the wave frequency.

Example of modifying a level:

levels: {
    1: {
        enemySpeed: 2.5,
        enemySize: { min: 20, max: 40 },
        enemyShape: ['triangle', 'square'],
        enemyColor: ['#f00', '#0f0', '#00f'],
        canEnemyShoot: false,
        powerUps: ['rapidFire', 'shield'],
        duration: 10,
        pointMultiplier: 1.5
    },
    // ... other levels ...
}

Modify these values to create custom difficulty curves and gameplay experiences. Remember to test thoroughly after making changes to ensure balanced and enjoyable gameplay.
