This project requires the following dependencies:
- Python 3.9 (older versions are not necessarily supported, but will likely work)
- Pygame Zero (
python3 -m pip install pgzero) - Pygame (
python3 -m pip install pygame) - Pgzrun (
python3 -m pip install pgzrun) - Time, Random, OS, and System (preinstalled with Python 3.9)
The following ships are available. You must specify at the command line which ship you choose.
- A-Wing (
python3 main.py awing) - Millennium Falcon (
python3 main.py falcon) - X-Wing (
python3 main.py xwing) - Razor Crest (
python3 main.py razorcrest) - Y-Wing (
python3 main.py ywing)
In the event that no choice is made or something invalid is given, the X-Wing acts as default.
Three ships have special abilities. The Millenium Falcon has a "quad laser", the A-Wing has an "ion blast", and the X-Wing has a "proton torpedo". These can be used with the normal laser accessible by every ship.
A start screen is shown when the game is opened. Press the down arrow on the start screen to begin the game.
The level one screen is shown when the start screen is passed. This screen will freeze when 150 Tie Fighters have been killed, then the game will quit. In the terminal where it was called from, it will print final stats - the player's score, their deaths, and their kills.
The player's ship can move left and right, using the left and right keyboard keys.
To fire the basic laser, use the spacebar. (This works regardless of ship.)
To use a special ability, press the down arrow on the keyboard. (This will only work if the ship has a special ability.)
When the player's ship exits the screen, it will be reset to its original position in the middle of the screen. A death will be added.
If a Tie Fighter hits the player's ship, both will die and points will be deducted.
The base scores are as follows:
- Lasers: 150 points/Tie Fighter hit
- Ion Blasts: 100 points (this kills all Tie Fighters, but only gains 100 points)
- Proton Torpedos: 100 points/Tie Fighter hit
- Quad Laser: 100 points/Tie Fighter hit
All base scores will have the target Tie Fighter's x value (how far it is away from the bottom of the screen) divided by five added to to it. This means that the farther away from your ship the Tie Fighter is, the more points are gained.
Score Logging:
Every time a Tie Fighter is killed, the Tie's number is logged along with the number of points gained by the player for the hit. It also logs what weapon killed it. (These logs are printed on the console.)
