How To Play

To play the game, open a terminal (or command line window) and type:
python game.py

Press Enter a click anywhere on the screen to start the game.

You have 3 lives to begin with (displayed at top left).
Each time a rock hits your spaceship, you lose a life.
You have to avoid rocks.

You begin with a 0 score (displayed at top right corner).

You can move around:

• use left and right (or "a" and "d" if you're a gamer) to rotate your spaceship
• use up arrow (or "w") to accelerate.

You can fire missiles using the "space bar".

• When a missile hits a big rock, it breaks it into two medium sized ones. Your score goes up by 20.
• When a missile hits a medium sized rock, it breaks it into two small ones. Your score goes up by 50.
• When a missile hits a small rock, it destroys it completely and your score goes up by 100.

The game gets more difficult for each 20 seconds you survive:

• One more big rock is added to the screen (they were 4 initially)
• The radius of rocks being created gets smaller, meaning that they will appear closer to your spaceship.
