Aim It Game

Write a program that allows the user to play a game in which you aim a projectile at a target to try to hit it. This game will be a simplified version of the following games: Angry Birds (or any other cannon/shooting themed game — without the physics :), Basketball (or any other sport theme), Gorillas (or any other fruit throwing theme), or even Lunar Lander. Just remember to keep it simple to start this week!

Getting Started

• Download this zip file to your computer and move it to a folder on your computer where you want to keep your programs for this course
• Unzip/Unarchive the file if you need to by double-clicking on it (your computer may do this automatically when downloading)
• Open PyCharm, press the Open button (or select File → Open), navigate to where you saved the folder, and select it
• You will need to Trust the project before it can be opened
• Right-click on the file AimItGameRules.py in the Project Explorer and select Run AimItGameRules to play the game (you are welcome to look at this code, but you do not need to change it and likely most of it will not make sense yet).

Specifications

Complete the functions given in the StudentGameTheme.py file and here is a video going over the purpose of those functions.

Note, you will have to spend some time choosing fixed values for the size and speed of the game objects to ensure the game is fun to play. Include some discussion of why you chose the values you did in your code's comments.

Submitting your Work

1. Create a Zip/Archive file of your PyCharm Python project (typically available as an option when you right-click on the folder in your File Explorer)
