Space Invaders

Space Invaders clone used as a Mini Arcade reference game.

What it validates

  • Sprite-based rendering

  • Projectile/cooldown gameplay loops

  • Multi-entity update systems

  • Scene transitions and command flow

  • Asset loading patterns in a larger game module

Run

From repo root:

python -m mini_arcade.main run --game space-invaders

Alternative (inside games/space-invaders):

python manage.py

Notes

This game intentionally keeps mechanics readable so engine behavior is easy to inspect and debug.
