Overview

Missile Defence is a game designed to combine the classic: Atari Missile Command and a typical tower defense game into one. This project is programmed using Python and the pygame library as the submission for my A-Level computer science course. Feel free to download and play it yourself - your scores will be uploaded to my database and visible to anyone if you happen to score in the top 10. Local highscores are implemented as well, they will display instead of the global scores if your device is not connected to the internet.
