This game is based on this tutorial https://realpython.com/asteroids-game-python/ and expanded into something bigger. The primary goal was never to make a fun game, although that is nice to have too. This is about learning python and python tools by building something small-to-midsized. Thanks to the pygame community, and the gamedev community for the assets!

A level is any subfolder of the folder called levels and a level is defined in a file called .json.
A level must have these folders: sounds , sprites , anim.
The .json file points to assets in those folders.
Animations are based on sprite sheets. The .json in the "anim" folder
defines properties for each animation
The assets folder contains non level specific assets. If a level asset is not found in the level specific folder, a default dummy asset will be used instead.
Any file change in a level folder will reload the current level. This is done to make the game testing loop faster.
- useful debugging views and function timers
- vsync where available
- steady 60 fps, sometimes :)
- GUI for level editor
- pixel perfect collision detection
- autogenerated levels
- improve window resizing
