Python Exploration #6

In this weeks knowledge exchange Jordan continues building his Space Invaders game. We started by implementing a feature that allows the starting and stopping of the game through the use of a “Game Active” feature that determines weather or not the game should be running. The game is set to inactive when the ship is hit.

Next, we added a new button to the screen when the game is inactive, when this button is clicked an event fires that starts the game and hides the mouse cursor. Lastly, we moved on to adding a scoring system, including a high score that’s remembered as long as the game window is open even between multiple games.
