"Asteroids" is a retro-style arcade game created using pygame. This game was developed during a 4-hour coding challenge.

In Asteroids, a player must pilot a space ship through a field of incoming space rock. By using the left and right arrow keys, the user can move the ship across the window, dodging asteroids. By pressing the space-bar the user can fire lasers to destroy incoming asteroids. Points are awarded to the user for each asteroid that is destroyed. The game ends when an incoming asteroid colides with the space ship.

All code, excluding that which is contained in 'graphic_support_mod.py', was created by myself for the purpose of completing the 4-hour code challenge. Comments (and docstrings) were added to the files after the challenge in order to make the code easily readable. The space ship images are provided through 'fourjay.org'. Explosion animations are courtesy of Adiel Ribeiro. Laser images have been provided through 'rock-cafe.info'. The asteroid images have been provided through 'pixelartmaker.com'.

All code is avalable under 'GNU General Public License v3.0'. Enjoy!
