A simple space game made with Python and Pygame. Game inspiration comes from here

This being a Python Game, Python essentially needs to be installed. preferrably Python 3.8 & up, but any version of Python 3.+ should work just fine.

Once you have Python installed, the installation of dependencies should be straightforward. You can either use Pipenv or use Pip as your preferred dependency manager, for this project, pipenv has been picked. Do read on these 2 as outlined in the links provided to avoid any confusion.

Installing dependencies is as good as:

pipenv install

Or if using pip

# Create your virtualenv first
virtualenv venv # if using Python 2
 
python3 -m venv venv # if using Python 3

# activate your environment with
source ./venv/bin/activate

# Now install the required dependency
python -m pip install pygame

To test that your installation is working fine, you can run the following command:

python -m pygame.examples.aliens

This should display something like this:

Now you are on the right track 😄

Project structure looks like this, but you can modify it to match your needs or extend it:\

.

├── Pipfile.lock
├── README.md
├── assets
│   ├── sounds
│   │   └── laser.wav
│   └── sprites
│       ├── asteroid.png
│       ├── bullet.png

│   └── utils

└── images
    └── pygame-alien-example.png

Note that this setup is to make it easier to read & navigate, feel free to make it suit your needs

Once all the above is setup correctly, all that is left, is running the game. That's achieved with:

python game

That should be it

The game should look like this:

When starting the game

When you lost a game

Deployment is really up to you, as this is a simply game :).
