About the game:
Y'know...there's a great video that tells you everything just up there. Maybe you'd like to watch that instead of reading some boring paragraph about how Space Invaders was a revolutionary milestone in video gaming history, and how it not only kickstarted the video game industry, but also became the icon of gaming as a whole. But, hey, you do you. This paragraph's only here for the algorithms anyway, so it's anyone's guess as to if it'll even work.
