Cosmic Assault - 1.1
Retro gaming space shooter with different enemy ships and shots, a boss level, and powerups.

(lerxst)
Fight a typically doomed but strangely compelling battle against a horde of unreasonable alien enemies. This was my first ever Pygame program that started life as the Space Invadersesque demo program that comes with Pygame.
I finally got around to putting the finishing touches on it. It's a fun game guaranteed to exhaust your pancreas of adrenaline, but for the love of God, do not use the underlying code as an example of what to do. :-) Also, the Windows version is thoroughly untested as I only have XP under VMWare. It should work, but I don't know how it will perform for the Windows crowd.
Changes
This release includes a couple bug fixes and a little bit more time to get ready when you start a new game.
There is a planned 1.2 release which will support a worldwide leader board to be hosted at the A Minor Games website, once I figure out the user interface and networking issues.
Still no Mac version. I really want to do one, though.
