Gameplay

Rocket Adventure: Space Explorer

Welcome to Rocket Adventure, where you embark on an exhilarating journey through the vast expanse of space! Take control of your rocket as you navigate through a series of challenging obstacles, collect power-ups, and strive to achieve the highest score possible. This README guide will provide you with all the necessary information to dive into the adventure.

Gameplay Overview:

• Objective: Navigate the rocket through space, avoiding collisions with obstacles while collecting power-ups to increase your score.

• Controls:

  • Use the W and S keys to control the vertical movement of the rocket.
  • Activate lateral movement when Level 3 is reached:
    • A: Move the rocket to the left.
    • D: Move the rocket to the right.
  • F: Fire the laser when Level 3 is reached, destroying the front meteor.

• Obstacles:

  • Meteors: Beware of meteors drifting through space. Colliding with them will result in a game over.
  • Air-Drops: Beware of the drops from the above when you reach Level 3 of the game.

• Power-ups:

  • Collect power-ups marked as [o] to boost your score by 50 points. Seize them whenever possible to maximize your score.

• Levels:

  • Level 1 (Score < 500): Begin your journey at a leisurely pace. The speed is slow, allowing for easier navigation through space.
  • Level 2 (500 ≤ Score < 1000): As you progress, the challenge intensifies. The speed increases to a medium pace, testing your reflexes and agility.
  • Level 3 (Score ≥ 1000): Reach the pinnacle of space exploration. The speed becomes fast, and additional challenges await with air-drops [^] threatening to destroy your rocket if its tail is hit.

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Open the project directory and launch the game.
3. Use the W/S keys to maneuver the rocket through space.
