Welcome to Space Invaders, a classic arcade game brought to life in Python using the Pygame library. Defend Earth against the relentless onslaught of alien invaders in this nostalgic and thrilling gaming experience.
Space Invaders follows a simple yet effective architecture, leveraging the Pygame library for game development. The main components include:
- Game Loop:
- The core of the game is driven by the main game loop found in the SpaceInvaders class, where user input, updates to game entities, and rendering are handled.
- Entities:
- Entities such as the player's spaceship, alien invaders, bullets, and barriers are implemented as distinct classes. Each entity has its logic for movement, collision detection, and rendering.
- Collision Detection:
- Collision detection is a crucial aspect of the game, ensuring that bullets hit their targets and that the player's spaceship interacts appropriately with the alien invaders and barriers.
- Game State Management:
- The game state is managed to handle transitions between different phases, such as the start screen, gameplay, and game over screen.
- Language: Python
- Library: Pygame
- Compatibility: Python 3.x
