Space War

Space War is a very simplistic game based on the arcade game Space Invaders. It was presented at Pycon2008 at the tutorial 'Pygame:Modern Game Development' given by Noah Kantrowitz and Mark Destefano. This example was used as a base for the participants who added their own features. There are some more fully featured examples of this game at [pygame tutorial].

The enclosed bundle File:SpaceWar-1.xo is a straight port of the game as a Sugar activity using the 'skeleton' model provided by Mike Fletcher in his tutorial at PyCon2008, [Making Small Software for Small People, Sugar/OLPC Coding by Example]. The original game is SpaceWar.py in the SpaceWar.activity folder. The Sugar wrapper is SpaceWarActivity.py. The game icon in the activity folder is a generic .svg with two text lines which can be changed using any text editor.
