Using Python to Build the Video Game: Asteroids

This week I made the classic game Asteroids using Python and the Pygame library for an introductory computer science class I’m taking. The assignment was both challenging and fun. We learned how object oriented programming works and that we are all capable of building games. The other lesson I learned is how much trigonometry I’ve forgotten. Circles and points travelling through space all use it. So, if you want to build games, study trig. Click on the link below to check out the game.
