Implement Weapon Projectiles

[e-dong]

There are two weapons in the game:

• photon torpedoes
• phasers

Torpedoes

In the original game, I noticed the image is different based on the angle the player fires them. For simplicity, I may keep them the same. Explosion animations will most likely be skipped for now. There can be multiple torpedoes, so the sprite class will make these easier to manage. There should be a timeout if the torpedoes do not hit anything and disappear.

Phasers

This will probably be the simplest to implement. I can just draw a straight line. I can probably use pygame.draw to draw a line. I will need to check if the rect collides with a player

Added a prototype version of the photon torpedoes, Used pygame.draw instead of making pixel art of the torpedoes. I created a base class SpaceEntity to represent the flying objects in space. This allows me to reuse the logic I originally created for the Human Ship.

TODOs

• Add constraints like max number of torpedoes
• Add logic to make torpedo disappear on hit and timeout
• Work on phasers
