I did learn quite a few new things in this project, but I felt like it "Held your hand" a little too much. Basically all of the answers you needed to put into the code was already copy and pasted into the "Task" section or the text above it explaining what everything did.

This project is a simple arcade game in Python, implemented using the PyGame library. In the game, the player controls an object (for example, a superhero) and avoids collisions with enemies (spaceships), while collecting bonuses (crystals). The gameplay includes elements of player object control, enemy and bonus generation, collision handling, displaying the player's score, and continuous background scrolling to create a sense of movement.
