Code Structure

The code is structured into several .py files, each with their own functions and classes responsible for a specific part of the game:

  • main.py : Handles the main loop and goes through the different states of the game.
  • spaceInvaders.py : Has the game loop and handles all the game mechanics, e.g. levels, spawning, points.
  • player.py : Controls the player and shoots the laser, gives the characteristics.
  • enemy.py : Defines all the enemies and gives them their properties like the explosion and size.
  • bullet.py : Creates the bullet.
  • life.py : Places the heart on top of the score.
  • background.py : Gives the scrolling background effect.
  • spritesheet.py : Handles the spritesheets. Copied and then edited from here.
  • score.py : Loading, saving, sorting and drawing the scores. Copied and then edited from here.
  • startScreen.py : Displays the startscreen and handles the username.
  • scoreScreen.py : Displays the current highscore.
  • gameOverScreen.py : Displays the username and score.
