Simple 2D Game with LÖVE Framework

This project is a simple 2D game developed using the LÖVE 2D framework. The game features basic gameplay mechanics where players control a character, shoot bullets at enemies, and manage health points to survive as long as possible.

Key Features

1. Game Structure:

   • Object-oriented design with classes for entities like Player, Enemy, Bullet.
   • State Machine manages different states of the game (Main Menu, Hero Selection, Gameplay, Game Result).

2. Entities:

   • Player: Controlled by the user; can move left and right, shoot bullets, and has health points.
   • Enemy: Non-player characters that move towards the player and have their own health points.
   • Bullet: Projectiles fired by the player to hit enemies.

3. Gameplay Mechanics:

   • Players can select a hero before starting the game (Pudge or Viper).
   • The player moves left and right using arrow keys and shoots bullets with the space key.
   • Bullets decrease an enemy's health when they collide, and enemies increase their speed as they take damage.

4. State Machine:

   • Manages transitions between different states like Main Menu, Hero Selection, Gameplay, and Game Result.
   • Handles input events and updates the game state accordingly.

5. Sound & Music:

   • Background music and sound effects are played for various actions like shooting, impacts, etc.

6. Game Configuration:

   • Configuration data for heroes and general game settings are stored in separate modules.

7. Game Result:

   • Displays the result of the match based on health scores of player and enemy entities.
   • Announces whether the player or enemy wins and shows their respective health points.
