This game was my first real shot at a python project. It uses turtle for the graphics needed to display the Player, Enemies, Bullets, and any Text displayed on screen.

The backend uses object oriented concepts such as classes to represent distinct enemies and bullets. The enemy and bullet information are stored in dictionaries, representing their location in memory, as well as, their coordinate location. The game uses a hitbox system representing coordinates on the xy grid to allow for a "cushion" of sorts when firing at a given enemy.

Players may save their current score to a high score file and there is a high score screen built by processing text stored in the file.
