## Features

- Control a spaceship using keyboard inputs (A, W, S, D, or arrow keys) to move and SPACE to shoot.

- Enemies and boss enemies spawn at intervals, increasing the game's difficulty.

- Collect power-ups to boost your abilities.

- Score tracking and display, with the game increasing in difficulty as your score rises.

- Lives system where players lose a life if an enemy reaches the bottom of the screen or collides with the player's spaceship.

- Reset mechanism to start over once all lives are lost.

## Prerequisites

- JDK 11 or higher.

- JavaFX SDK (version compatible with your JDK).

## Setup and Installation

1. **JavaFX SDK**: Download the JavaFX SDK from [OpenJFX](https://openjfx.io/) and extract it to a known directory.

2. **Clone the Repository**: Use `git clone ` to clone this repository to your local machine.

## Configuration

Ensure JavaFX is correctly set up in your development environment:

- **IntelliJ IDEA**:

    1. Go to `File` > `Project Structure` > `Libraries`, add the JavaFX SDK as a library by navigating to its `lib` folder.

    2. Modify your run configuration to include VM options for the JavaFX modules you use, e.g., `--module-path "path/to/javafx-sdk/lib" --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.media`.

- **Eclipse**:

    1. Add the JavaFX SDK as an external JAR to your project's build path.

    2. Adjust the run configurations to include the necessary VM arguments, as shown above for IntelliJ.

## Running the Application

Compile and run the `SpaceShooter.java` file. Ensure the VM options are set correctly to include the JavaFX library path and modules.

## How to Play

- Use the A, W, S, D keys or arrow keys to move the spaceship.

- Press SPACE to shoot at enemies.

- Avoid letting enemies reach the bottom of the screen or colliding with them.

- Collect power-ups to enhance your capabilities and increase your score.

- The game ends when all lives are lost, but you can start over by resetting the game.
