PySpaceWar

==========

    :target: https://github.com/mgedmin/pyspacewar/actions

Two ships duel in a gravity field.   Gravity doesn't affect the ships

themselves (which have spanking new anti-gravity devices), but it affects

missiles launced by the ships.

You can play against the computer, or two players can play with one keyboard.

There is also a Gravity Wars mode, where the two ships do not move, and the

players repeatedly specify the direction and velocity of their missiles.
