Asteroids

Asteroids is a classic arcade-style game where you pilot a spaceship and try not to get obliterated by floating space rocks. The game includes real-time movement, asteroid generation, collision detection, and a game loop that just won’t quit until you do.

What it Offers?

• Player-controlled spaceship with smooth rotation (thrust-based movement coming soon)
• Randomly spawning asteroids that float in space and try to ruin your ship
• Simple collision logic for destroying your ship

Tech Stack

• Python - the programming language for non-programmers
• Pygame - 2D game development library for Python

Repo Structure

• asteroid.py - class definition and render logic for asteroids
• asteroidfield.py - collision-detection and spawn logic
• circleshape.py - abstract class for circle shape
• constants.py - global constants for game environment
• main.py - main driver code with game loop
• player.py - class definition and logic for spaceship
• shot.py - class definition for spaceship bullets

Setup and Usage

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+ installed
• Access to a unix-like shell (e.g. zsh or bash)

Steps

1. Navigate to the project directory and create a virtual environment at the top level:

   python3 -m venv venv

2. Activate the virtual environment:

   source venv/bin/activate

   You should now see (venv) at the beginning of your terminal prompt.

3. Install the requirements:

   pip3 install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the game with:

   python3 main.py

5. Enjoy :)
