Detailed Description

Car Racing Game β€” Python + Pygame
This project is an exciting 2D car racing arcade game developed using Python and Pygame. Players navigate their car through a highway filled with obstacles and opponent cars, testing reflexes and precision. The objective is simple β€” avoid collisions, collect points, and survive as long as possible.

The game implements real-time motion physics, collision detection, score tracking, and smooth keyboard-based controls. Randomization modules ensure each game feels different, creating a fun and challenging experience every time. It also includes a start menu, game-over screen, background music, and road movement animations for realism.

Designed to be lightweight and efficient, this project demonstrates strong fundamentals in event handling, sprite manipulation, and time-based animation in Python. It’s a perfect portfolio piece to showcase programming logic, creative UI, and Pygame expertise.
