Space Invaders Game

This game is a modified version of the classic Atari Space Invaders. In this version, the aliens move toward you rather than staying stationary. The objective is to earn as many points as possible by eliminating aliens without losing all of your health. Your health will gradually regenerate over time.

Instructions for gameplay will also be displayed upon running the program.

You can choose a difficulty level from 1 to 5 (1 being the easiest, 5 being the hardest). The score counter is displayed at the bottom center of the screen, and your health is shown at the top left. Your highest score is saved, and you can continue playing after reaching a new high score.

Good luck!
