Asteroids-Game

Description

This is a classic Asteroids game implemented in Python using the Pygame library. The player controls a spaceship, navigating through space while avoiding and destroying asteroids. The game features sound effects, background music, and a scoring system.

Features

• Object-Oriented Design: Uses classes for Ship, Asteroid, and Bullet objects
• Player-controlled spaceship with rotation and thrust
• Multiple asteroids that move across the screen with increasing difficulty
• Bullet shooting mechanics with collision detection
• Lives System: 3 lives with respawn on collision
• Level Progression: Automatic level advancement with increasing asteroid count
• High Score Tracking: Persistent high score saved to file
• Pause Functionality: Press 'P' to pause/unpause the game
• Restart Option: Press 'R' to restart after game over
• Collision detection for ship-asteroid and bullet-asteroid interactions
• Score tracking with level and lives display
• Sound effects for thrust, shooting, and explosions
• Background music and visual effects
• Error handling for missing assets

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Pygame library (install via pip install pygame)

Installation and Setup

1. Create a virtual environment (recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   

2. Activate the virtual environment:
   • On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
   • On macOS/Linux: source venv/bin/activate
3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Ensure all game files are in the same directory structure.
5. Run the game with: python final.py
6. Use keyboard controls to play.

Controls

• Left Arrow: Rotate ship left
• Right Arrow: Rotate ship right
• Up Arrow: Thrust forward (activates thruster sound and visual) l- Spacebar: Shoot bullets
• Close window: Quit the game

File Structure

• final.py: Main game script containing all logic
• images/: Directory containing game sprites and backgrounds (e.g., ship.png is loaded as ship_img, ship_thrusted.png as ship_thrusted_img in code)
• sounds/: Directory containing audio files for effects and music

Credits

• Game developed using Pygame
• Assets: Custom images and sounds (ensure proper licensing if redistributing)

Configuration

The game includes configurable parameters in final.py:

• NUM_ASTEROIDS: Number of asteroids (default: 5)
• ASTEROID_SPEED: Speed of asteroids (default: 2)
• BULLET_SPEED: Speed of bullets (default: 10)
• SHIP_SPEED: Speed of ship thrust (default: 10)
  • Note: In the code, ship images are referenced as ship_img and ship_thrusted_img to avoid conflict with the Ship class instance.
• FRICTION: Ship deceleration rate (default: 0.2)

Error Handling

• The game includes error handling for missing image and sound files
• Graceful degradation if audio assets are not found
• Informative error messages for debugging

Notes

• The game runs at 60 FPS
• Asteroids wrap around screen edges
• Bullets travel in straight lines
• Score increases for each destroyed asteroid
• Background music loops indefinitely
• Sound effects play only if assets are available
