A classic Asteroids arcade game implementation using Python and Pygame.

This is a modern implementation of the classic Asteroids arcade game. Players control a spaceship and must destroy asteroids while avoiding collisions. The game features:

• Player-controlled spaceship with movement and shooting mechanics
• Procedurally generated asteroid field
• Collision detection between ship, asteroids, and shots
• Score tracking
• Smooth gameplay with 60 FPS

• Python 3.x
• Pygame 2.6.1

1. Clone this repository
2. Create a virtual environment (recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

1. Run the game:

   python main.py

2. Controls:

   • WASD keys to move the spaceship
   • Space bar to shoot
   • ESC or close window to quit

• The player's spaceship can rotate and move in any direction
• Asteroids split into smaller pieces when shot
• Collision with asteroids results in game over
• Smooth physics-based movement
• Classic arcade-style gameplay
