Implement a multithreaded version of the arcade video game Space Invaders. This version will be a Computer vs Human game. Each enemy (space invader) will be independent and the number of enemies is configurable. Below you can see the general requirements for the space invaders and main shooter interaction.
- The game's layout can be static.
- The shooter must be controlled by the user.
- Space Invaders are autonomous entities that will move and shoot in a random way.
- Space Invaders and shooter should respect the layout limits.
- Space Invaders number can be configured on game's start.
- Each invader's behaviour will be implemented as a separated thread.
- Space Invaders and main shooter threads must use the same map or game layout data structure resource.
- Display obtained shooter's scores.
- Main Shooter loses when it has been shooted 10 times.
- Main Shooter wins the game when it has taken down its enemies in the map.
- Make sure that you complete the below defined deliverables.
- Source code dependencies must be clearly documented.
- Source code in each team's member fork.
- Architecture Document - ARCHITECTURE.md
- Build/Run automation (
Makefileand documentation - SPACE_INVADERS.md) - Project's presentation video (5-10 minutes)
- Multithreaded core backend
- C
- Go
- User Interface (optional)
- Any
- If it's terminal, output must be human-readable

Free Lab Bonus
You can get an extra bonus if you implement an Artificial Intelligence algorithm in space invaders behaviour for finding the main shooter location, trace the route and follow it.
