Custom Levels

All levels have to be appended to the 'levels' variable. A level is a tuple with two sub-tuples, each containing 8 items. An item is either a tuple containing data for that ship, or 'dead' indicating no ship. Structure of the data for the ship: (ship name,class data,movement data)

Basic Ship

• ship name: 'basic'
• class data: None

Tank Ship

• ship name: 'tank'
• class data: None

Shooter Ship

• ship name: 'shooter'
• class data: 3-item tuple
  • mode: 'r' for random interval or 'f' for fixed interval
  • param: for r: shoot chance (1/x, default: 115), for f: interval in seconds
  • bullet speed: speed of the bullet (px/update, default: 5)

Ram (Kamikaze) Ship

• ship name: 'ram'
• class data: 2-item tuple
  • mode: r: random, f: fixed interval
  • param: for r: ram chance, for f: interval
• movement data: mandatory
  • axis: y
  • distance: 180 for top row, 140 for bottom row
  • px/update: multiple of distance (default: 12)
  • loop?: True
  • wait_time: time waiting before coming back up (in seconds)

Shield Ship

• ship name: 'shield'
• class data: 3-item tuple
  • shield chance: chance to shield/update (deafult: 200)
  • shield time: time of active shield (in seconds)
  • ships: # of ships shielded (max 5 if in backrow)

Movement

• any ship can move
• last atribute in ship tuple ship name,class data,movement data)
• axis: x or y
• distance: distance covered in px, (Note: no ship colliding prevention!)
• px/update: px per update, should be a mulitple of distance
• loop?: True or False
• _wait time: time spent waiting before going back (if applicable) in seconds
