Bug Hunter 2025

A Pygame Simple Shooter

Bug Hunter 2025 is a small arcade-style shooter written in Python using the Pygame library.

I created this project to explore gameplay programming concepts outside of my usual work with Python for build engineering and automation. The game is structured around a continuous gameplay loop that updates player input, projectile movement, enemy behaviour, and collision checks each frame. Enemies spawn dynamically with increasing speed and frequency based on player score, creating a simple difficulty scaling system.

Although small in scope, the project was a fun opportunity to apply gameplay programming principles in Python and experiment with building a complete game loop from scratch.

The project also demonstrates asset management, sound integration, and basic game state management (title screen, gameplay loop, and game over state).
