Asteroids Game

A basic imple,mentation of the classic Asteroids game using Python and Pygame. This project was created as a learning exercise to explore game development concepts.

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or higher
• uv (Install via pip install uv)
• Pygame (will be installed automatically with uv project)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo-name.git
   cd your-repo-name
   

2. Install dependencies: On Mac/Linux: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh On Windows (PowerShell): powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.psd1 | iex"

Running the Game

This project uses uv to manage dependencies and run the game in an isolated virtual environment. Assuming dependencies (like Pygame) are listed in a pyproject.toml or requirements.txt file (if not, add pygame via uv add pygame and commit the updated files).

To launch the game, run:

uv run main.py

If you are using a traditional virtual environment, activate it and run:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `.venv\Scripts\activate`
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 main.py

Controls

• A/D Keys: Rotate the spaceship
• W Key: Thrust forward
• Spacebar: Shoot bullets

Notes

• This is a very basic implementation and can be expanded with more features like scoring, levels, sound effects, etc.
• Feel free to fork and modify the code to enhance the game!
