How aleksathecherrygoddess/asteroids works
This is a small Pygame Asteroids game. The main loop creates the player and sprite groups, advances updates, checks collisions, and draws each frame. The gameplay stages are asteroid spawning, player movement and shooting, shot/asteroid collisions and splitting, and rendering; logging records periodic state and gameplay events. The README only identifies the project as practice, so capabilities and links here are based on the sampled runtime source.
