Overview

This is a simple Pygame-based alien shooter cat game that I made for Python/Pygame practice. It's based on the tutorial from the excellent Python Crash Course book.

Requirements:

• Python 3

To install Pygame, run:

$ python -m pip install --user pygame

If you need to specify Python3, then run:

If this command doesn’t work on macOS, try running the command again without the --user flag.
