Note: Game is still in development

Arithiga is a variation of the game Galaga where you shoot a series of numbers and operators to get the given number at the top of the screen. The numbers used range from 1-9 and the given operators are +, -, *, /, and ^ (representing addition, subtraction, multiplcation, division, and the power symbol, respectively). You get 100 points for getting the number using 1 or 2 operators, 50 for using 3-5 operators, and 25 for any number of operators using afterwards. For instance, if the given number is 8, you get more points for shooting 4, +, then 4 than 2, +, 2, +, 2, +, then 2. This accumulated number also carries over to the next given number. If the next number happens to be 24, the player starts out with 8 from the previous number.

The player has three lives. Each life is reduced when the ship is hit by a number or operator symbol. For every hit, the number accumulated up to that point turns back to 0. Once all three lives are gone, the game ends.

This version of the game allows customization options for your the type of ship used, the font and color of the numbers, and the type and color of laser used, and more. The player controls the ship by moving the mouse to move and pressing the mouse to shoot.

The game is run by executing

python Arithiga.py

on the command line. The player moves with the left and right arrow keys and shoots with the space bar.
