This project is an implementation of the arcade game Asteroids, inspired by Daniel Shiffman's Nature of Code, but written in Python. To do this, I used Pyglet, a graphics library for Python that exposes OpenGL and provides some useful helper classes, as well as other multimedia tools. Instead of using sprites or other premade images, I choose to use vector graphics, which is true to the inspiration as well as well-suited to OpenGL.

Things I wrote myself:

• Vect2:
  • This class is a bare-bones vector representation, which mainly just has functions I needed implemented.
• Entity:
  • This is a collection of classes that use inheritance to create representations of objects in the game.
• HUD:
  • A specialized object that manages points and displaying those points.
• Main:
  • This is the program's entry point, and contains the logic that calls functions that serve as the main game loop.
• State Manager
  • An object that holds all of the game objects' state and handles interactions and the functions in the main game loop.
