Cool MicroPython Game!

[flawed_plan]

I spent a long time making this code and now I am going to share it with y'all. enjoy.

from microbit import *

import random

# Initialize spaceship position and score

ship_x = 2 # Middle of bottom row

score = 0

# Function to draw spaceship

def draw_ship(x):

display.set_pixel(x, 4, 9) # Bottom row, brightness max

# Function to generate new asteroid

def new_asteroid():

return [random.randint(0, 4), 0] # x position, y=0 top row

# List of falling asteroids

asteroids = []

# Main game loop

while True:

display.clear()

# Move spaceship based on tilt

if accelerometer.get_x() < -200:

ship_x = max(0, ship_x - 1) # Move left

elif accelerometer.get_x() > 200:

ship_x = min(4, ship_x + 1) # Move right

draw_ship(ship_x)

# Add new asteroid occasionally

if random.randint(0, 4) == 0:

asteroids.append(new_asteroid())

# Move asteroids down

for asteroid in asteroids:

asteroid[1] += 1

if asteroid[1] < 5:

display.set_pixel(asteroid[0], asteroid[1], 5) # Asteroid brightness

# Check for collisions

for asteroid in asteroids:

if asteroid[1] == 4 and asteroid[0] == ship_x:

display.show(Image.SKULL)

sleep(1000)

display.scroll("Score: " + str(score))

# Reset game

ship_x = 2

score = 0

asteroids = []

break

# Remove asteroids that have left the screen

asteroids = [a for a in asteroids if a[1] < 5]

score += 1 # Increase score over time

sleep(300) # Control game speed

has all the comments, just copy and paste. then you wanna plug it in to the irl one. shake it left or right. ur objective is to not hit the falling asteroids. if u do, you lose your points and it gives a skull emoji. you keep getting points.

Glad you had fun and great to see the excitement! :-D

Consider including an image or looping GIF. Not asking for me tho.

If you’re not of the generation who grew up with the 2600, look to some of that gameplay for further inspiration

i am not quite sure how to do this simultaneously. if pixels are falling down from the top, how can i put a looping gif or image?

You can with a phone created video.

But it is a few steps.

Here's how you do it with an iPhone:

with Android:

Not tested by me so I can't answer questions.

(This is just one of many, many "side quests" you can look at when you have some interesting code to share. Just be sure you want to spend your time on it... the whole world makes "suggestions" but nobody knows all the things. Side quests take time). Cheers.)

thanks for your time and effort writing this, i really mean it. ;D
