esensats / pygame-space-shooter

My first pygame project that exists because I am learning python. And it's fun.

Pygame Space Shooter

A simple 2D python game designed to teach myself the pygame module.

Original: https://github.com/techwithtim/PygameForBeginners

YT Tutorial: https://youtu.be/jO6qQDNa2UY

Notes: /src/lib folder is required, don't gitignore it

Installation guide

First clone the project into desired directory using the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/Esensats/pygame-space-shooter.git

Make sure you have Python installed. The interpreter used while developing was of version 3.9.12, but newer ones will most likely work as well.

Then you have to use install required libraries using the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

NOTE: if pip results in an error, you can try using one of the following commands:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

if nothing works, you should check if your Python is installed correctly, and add pip to path.

To launch the game you have to launch src/main.py. You can use .vscode/launch.json if you use VSCode.

Controls

To move the red ship use these NUMPAD keys: 8, 4, 5, 6.
