 Introduction of the game

Reminiscent of many "shoot 'em up" video games from the early
eighties- Space Shooter is an arcade game developed using Python as a
programming language.

Although built to be simplistic, the mechanics of this game are pretty

dynamic. Moreover, the game also has engaging gameplay.

The player starts the game with three lives and has to constantly shoot
and dodge to save themselves from being wiped out by a constant
oncoming barrage of asteroids. A hit from an asteroid causes the
player's health to decrease. While smaller asteroids deal lesser damage,
larger asteroids will deal a heavier blow to your health bar. Once the
player's health bar runs out, they lose a life.

This game also features two types of power-ups. While one boosts your
defence by replenishing your health, the other improves your attack by
doubling and tripling your rate of fire and increasing the damage dealt.

As a player’s score increases, the game bumps up the difficulty by

increasing the frequency of the falling asteroids. Thereby, ensuring the
player stays engaged and alert.

 Working of the Project

Pygame is a cross-platform set of Python modules which is used to

create video games.

It consists of computer graphics and sound libraries designed to be

used with the Python programming language.

Pygame was officially written by Pete Shinners to replace PySDL.

Pygame is suitable to create client-side applications that can be

potentially wrapped in a standalone executable.

The project basically uses the pygame module. We use images and
animate the images using pygame module. We use pygame module to
do button mapping and several other display function. We use classes
to call functions after every iteration of the game level

vii
 System Description

The system comprises of 1 major module with their sub-modules

as follows:

User:

 Main menu screen

- Introductory screen
- Logo of the app
- Start/save/load/quit options

 Game play screen

- Playing the game

 Pause menu screen

You can quit the game or go to menu screen

 Data Flow Diagram (DFD)

Level 0 DFD:

Game System: Represents the entire game system.

Player Input: Receives input from the player through keyboard or
controller.
Game Logic: Processes player input and controls game flow.
Game Output: Displays game visuals to the player.
Level 1 DFD:

Player Input:
Control Input: Receives commands from the player (e.g., move left,
shoot).
Game Logic:
Player Control: Manages player movement and actions.
Enemy Control: Controls enemy behavior, spawning, and movement.
Collision Detection: Detects collisions between player, enemy, and
projectiles.
Game State Management: Tracks game state (e.g., current level, player
score, remaining lives).

x
Game Output:
Visual Rendering: Displays game graphics, including player ship,
enemies, backgrounds, and UI elements.

Movement: Processes player movement input.
Shooting: Handles player's shooting actions.
Power-up Activation: Manages power-up activation triggered by player
actions.
Enemy Control:
Spawn Enemies: Generates enemy units based on game progression.
Enemy Behavior: Defines enemy movement patterns and attack
behaviors.
Boss Encounters: Manages unique behaviors and phases for boss
enemies.
Collision Detection:
Player-Enemy Collision: Checks for collisions between player ship and
enemy units.
Projectile Collision: Determines if player projectiles hit enemies or vice
versa.
Power-up Collection: Detects when the player collects power-ups.
Game State Management:
xi
Level Progression: Controls the transition between game levels.
Score Tracking: Updates player score based on actions and
achievements.
Player Health/Lives: Manages player's health and lives.
Visual Rendering:
Object Rendering: Renders player ship, enemies, projectiles, and
environment elements.
User Interface (UI): Displays score, health, lives, and other game-related
information.

 Project Lifecycle

The waterfall model is a classical model used in system development

life cycle to create a system with a linear and sequential approach. It is
termed as waterfall because the model develops systematically from
one phase to another in downward fashion. The waterfall approach
does not define the process to go back to the previous phase to handle
changes in requirement. The waterfall approach is the earliest
approach that was used for software development

xiii
 Key Points

a) Dynamic Gameplay:
As players high score increases, the difficulty of the game
gradually gets harder.

b) Power-ups:
While one type of power-up replenishes the player’s health,
the other increases their firepower. Thereby, ensuring that
the game remains interesting.

c) Complex Mechanics:
Small asteroids have a lesser toll on the player’s health bar
while larger asteroids deal a comparatively heavier damage.

 Conclusion

In conclusion, developing a space shooter game in Python offers a

rewarding opportunity to create an immersive and exciting
gaming experience. By leveraging Python's versatility and
extensive libraries such as Pygame or Pyglet, developers can
implement engaging gameplay mechanics, stunning visuals
effects to captivate players.

Python's ease of use and extensive community support make it

accessible for both novice and experienced developers to create
their own space shooter games. Whether it's a solo project or a
collaborative effort, the process of designing, coding, and testing
a space shooter game in Python can be a fulfilling and
educational experience for game development enthusiasts.

In the end, the success of a space shooter game in Python hinges

on creativity, attention to detail, and the ability to deliver an
immersive and enjoyable gaming experience that keeps players
coming back for more interstellar adventures.
