A space shooter built with Pygame, based on Chapter 12 of Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes.
I modified it a bit.
Alien Invasion is a 2D side-scrolling space shooter. The player controls a ship that moves horizontally along the bottom of the screen and fires bullets upward. The goal is to survive waves of descending aliens while destroying as many as possible. The game features a simple score system, lives, and increasing difficulty as the alien fleet descends. You'll learn OOP here a lot!
