## A 2D python Game using curses

### Space Invaders​

is a classic arcade video game created by Tomohiro Nishikado and released in 

1978 - the port of which was also responsible for the massive popularity of gaming consoles in 

the 80s - and hence played a major role in pushing the gaming industry towards mainstream 

media.This is a recreation of this iconic game in 

Python. 

 

### Elements of the game:

 

a. Spaceship​ : 

- Denoted by ^. The spaceship can only be moved horizontally on Row number 1.

- That is, it’s movement is restricted from 1x1 to 1x8. 

- Move it using key ‘A’ to move left and key ‘D’ to move it to the right.

b. Aliens​ :  

- Denoted by *. 

- The are randomly spawned anywhere in rows 8 and 7.

- A new alien is spawned every 10 seconds and each alien lasts for 8 seconds, after which it self destructs. 

 

 

c. Missiles​ : 

There are two types of missiles: 

i. First Missile​ :

- Character ‘i’ used to denote first form of missile. 

  

- A missile is spawned each time the spacebar is clicked and is always spawned in the (row+1, column) block if the spaceship is in (row, column) when spacebar is clicked. 

  

- For example, if the spaceship is in (1, 2) when spacebar is hit, the missile spawns in (2,2). 

  

- The missile must move one row up every second. 

  

- If a missile and alien collide, the alien gets destroyed.  

ii. Second Missile​ :

- Character ‘l’ to denote the second form of missile. 

- This missile is shot when the ‘S’ key is clicked, and unlike the first kind of bullet, will 

move two rows up every second.

- If this bullet collides with an alien, the alien will exist on the board for another 5 seconds. Also look of alien changes 

when this missile collides with it. 

 

### Number of aliens shot down is the score of the player.
