I built a Space Invaders style arcade game using Python and Pygame.
In this game, the player controls a spaceship that can move left and right and shoot bullets to destroy incoming enemy aliens. The enemies spawn from the top and move across the screen, creating a classic retro arcade feel.Its a pygame game almost similar to space invaders. I learnt from freecodecamp tutorial and did it in my way. It took me more than one and half hour to be honest but the wakatime extension in VS Code showed error and I wasn’t able to fix it. It doesn’t have a demo link yet but you can download the zip file and try running main.py file and start playing. Hope you enjoy it :)

This project uses AI

I used chatgpt for debugging and understanding the logic.

Once in a lifetime all of us might have played some or the other games. A sudden thought came to my mind which made me question how are games created, that we keep playing the whole time. Then I started looking deeper in youtube went across godot, unity , pygame and many. So, I thought of starting something very simple. Hence, I used freecodecamp pygame tutorial to follow along, understand, and code the game.
I understood how lists, functions, loops are being used. And also how we calculate the coordinates, collision of bullet and enemy, integrate background and sound effects with the game, control the speed.
Soon, I will learn more about this and try my best to upgrade this game levels and also create games of my choice.
