SpaceShips (Local Version) is a classic arcade style game with numerous enemy types, bosses and powerups! While working on my first project (Age Of Empire), I began to have ideas of including graphics into my game. Having no prior experience, I decided to pick up pygame which led me to learn to create a simple space game!
Note: SpaceShips has since received a playable online web version (with additional features!) whose work can be found in this repository:
https://github.com/tjtanjin/spaceships_web
SpaceShips (Local Version) runs locally on your computer and has options for the following gamemodes:
1) Single Player
2) Two Player
Fight your way through different enemies and bosses! Collect powerups to help you along the way! There is strategy in the game so think hard!
Technologies used by SpaceShips (Local Version) are as below:
Python
None (Terminal-based Application)

- Next, unzip the folders Fonts, Images and Sound as well as create a new empty folder Stats (this tracks your old highscore locally).
- From the base directory of the project, execute the following command and you will see the welcome screen if everything has been setup correctly, it's that simple!
$ python3 sdl_spaceships.py
