A Space Invaders clone written in Python and Pygame for the Raspberry Pi.

The original challenge was to write a playable and challenging re-make in around 300 lines of code (v0.1).

This project was created by Russell Barnes for Linux User & Developer magazine issue 136 (v0.1) and for a follow-up article in issue 137 (v.0.2) which added animation and sound.

Music is Arpanauts taken from Eric Skiff's excellent album Resistor Anthems.

To install you simply need a python3 environment with pygame installed (pip install pygame). Tested on Mac Os X 10.11.6 with python 3.6.5
