Games Menu is a comprehensive gaming application featuring multiple classic arcade games accessible through a central menu system. Built with Python and Pygame, this project includes Snake, Pong, and Space Invaders, each with smooth gameplay, score tracking, and customizable settings. The application demonstrates game development principles including collision detection, game loops, sprite management, and user interface design.
Intuitive menu interface to launch any game with keyboard or mouse controls
Three classic games: Snake, Pong, and Space Invaders in one application
Real-time score display and persistent high score system across sessions
Adjust difficulty, sound effects, and control schemes for each game
Smooth keyboard controls with configurable key mappings
Retro sound effects and background music for immersive gameplay

Classic two-player paddle game with AI opponent. Includes power-ups, speed variations, and competitive scoring system.
Defend Earth from alien invaders! Features wave-based progression, multiple enemy types, and power-up weapons.
This project demonstrates advanced game development concepts including:
Building this game collection deepened my understanding of game development fundamentals and the Pygame library. I learned how to manage multiple game states, implement efficient game loops, handle collision detection, and create engaging user experiences. The project also taught me about code organization, making each game modular and maintainable while sharing common resources like the menu system and high score database.
