Space Invaders
A downloadable game
The Space Invaders game is a classic arcade-style game implemented in Python using the Pygame library. The player controls a spaceship that can move left or right at the bottom of the screen, shooting bullets upwards to destroy the enemies that move back and forth at the top of the screen. The enemies gradually descend towards the player, and the game ends if an enemy reaches the player or if all enemies are destroyed. The player's score, which increases each time an enemy is destroyed, is displayed at the top of the screen. The game also features sound effects for shooting bullets and destroying enemies.
