pygame-asteroids

Welcome to pygame-asteroids!

This is a simple game I made in python following the related course on Boot.dev.

Currently, the game is very simple, you just install python, then install the pygame libray requirement via:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

And just run the game!

python main.py

Commands

You can move the spaceship with either WASD or the arrow keys:

• W or UP: go forward
• S or DOWN: go backwards
• A or LEFT: turn left
• D or RIGHT: turn right
• And shoot with SPACEBAR!

Future Roadmap

• Add a scoring system
• Implement multiple lives and respawning
• Add a background image
• Add an explosion effect for the asteroids
• Add acceleration to the player movement
• Make the objects wrap around the screen instead of disappearing
• Create different weapon types
• Make the asteroids lumpy instead of perfectly round
• Make the ship have a triangular hit box instead of a circular one
• Add a shield power-up
• Add a speed power-up
• Add bombs that can be dropped
