• Health bar for the space ship
• Score board to show how you are faring so far
• Power ups like
  • shield: increases the space ships life
  • bolt: increases the shooting capability of the ship by firing 2 to 3 bullets instead of one at time.
• Custom sounds and sprite animation for things like
  • meteorite explosion
  • bullet shoots
  • player explosion
• 3 lives per game
• Fun to play :)

• ⬇️ Download the prebuilt zip file and unzip it.
• Run the executable named spaceShooter inside the extracted file.

• ⬇️ Download the latest zip file for linux
• Unzip the file

If your download was saved on the ~/Downloads folder

Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open the shell if you are on GNU/Linux based systems and type

$ unzip ~/Downloads/SpaceShooter-0.0.3.Linux.zip -d ~/Desktop
$ cd ~/Desktop
$ ## navigate to the unzipped file and change the file permissions for the executable
~/Desktop $ chmod +x spaceShooter
~/Desktop $ ./spaceShooter

This will unzip the file on your Desktop, you can replace it with the directory of your choice

NOTE : If it gives you an error, you probably don't have unzip installed in your system.

$ sudo apt-get install unzip

That should fix the error.

• Run the executable named spaceShooter

A Similar process would be followed for OS X

You need to have pygame installed for this option.

$ sudo pkg install devel/py-game

$ git clone https://github.com/tasdikrahman/spaceShooter.git
$ cd spaceShooter/
$ chmod +x spaceShooter.py
$ python spaceShooter.py

$ sudo apt-get install python-pygame

$ git clone https://github.com/tasdikrahman/spaceShooter.git
$ cd spaceShooter/ 
$ python spaceShooter.py

You have to build from source to get it up and running on OS X. Reason? I don't have an OS X system to build the executable! So I would love for a Pull request on that one.

Building from source will do the trick though

$ pip3 install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

Install Pygame specific dependencies

$ brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_ttf portmidi libogg libvorbis
$ brew install sdl_mixer --with-libvorbis

$ git clone https://github.com/tasdikrahman/spaceShooter.git
$ cd spaceShooter/ 
$ python spaceShooter.py

This game was written in one day, so the coding standards might not be up the mark. Don't be shy to make a Pull request :)

You can report the bugs at the issue tracker

OR

You can tweet me if you can't get it to work. In fact, you should tweet me anyway.

The game is a fork of the video instructions given by KidsCanCode. I have made several additional enhancements to it. Do check out their Channel!
