This is a Space Invaders clone, where your objective is to stop the party aliens from invading our planet and instituting a mandatory party rule, which would cause all humans to dance their way into their graves.

Follow the steps below to get all prerequisites and game installed.

If you don't already have it, start by installing the latest version of Python 3. For more detailed instructions, visit the link below: https://realpython.com/installing-python/

Once you have Python 3 installed, you will need to install Pip; which is the preferred method for downloading and installing Python packages.

Downloading Pip

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

Installing Pip

python get-pip.py

With Pip installed, it's now time to install Pygame. In order to do that, simply run the command below on your terminal

python3 -m pip install -U pygame --user

With Pygame installed, you are ready to clone the repo and run Kill the Party Aliens! From your terminal, navigate to the directory where the files are stored, then run the following command

python3 party_aliens.py

• Python 3.7.0 - Main programming language
• Pygame - Library used for building the game

Please feel free to contribute wherever needed. I want to include new features when possible, but time constraints have held me back. Possible new features would include:

• Aliens shoot back
• Defensive barracks for player's ship

• Filipe Gomes - filipe-gomes
