Star Surfer

A space arcade game built with pure Python (tkinter only — no third-party libraries).

Gameplay

You control KAI, a Hawaiian surfer riding through asteroid fields in space. Guide him with your mouse, collect stars, dodge asteroids, and pull off tricks.

Controls

• Mouse — move the surfer
• Left click — trick jump (KAI spins in the air)

Objectives

• Collect gold stars for points
• Avoid gray asteroids — each hit costs a life
• Catch rare bonus hearts to restore a life
• Survive as long as possible

Features

• Parallax starfield with 3 depth layers and nebula clouds
• Pre-baked asteroid polygons with craters and rotation
• Trick jump with board spin physics and landing particles
• 5 lives displayed as red hearts in the HUD
• Rare bonus heart power-ups that float down the screen
• Code drop mechanic — lines from the game's own source code fly out of the surfer during tricks and collisions
• Star rating on game over (up to 5 stars based on score)
