# LED ASTEROID FIELD SIMULATION — With Ship AI, Missiles, Sparks, and Black Hole Logic
#
# Author       : William McEvoy 
# Framework    : LEDarcade (custom game and display framework for LED matrices)
# Hardware     : Raspberry Pi w/ Adafruit or compatible RGB LED Matrix (e.g. 64x32)
# Dependencies : pygame, numpy, numba, LEDarcade (custom), Pillow (for fonts/images)
#
# Description  :
# This is a real-time arcade-style simulation rendered on an LED matrix display. The
# game features autonomous AI ship navigation, dynamic asteroid fields, projectile
# tracking (missiles), particle effects (sparks), and gravitational anomalies (black
# holes). Entities interact with physics-inspired behaviors including momentum, elastic
# collisions, gravity fields, and boundary reflection.
#
# The engine runs on a virtual playfield larger than the visible LED matrix, allowing
# for a scrolling effect and spatial simulation beyond the constrained screen size.
#
# Core Features:
#  - Autonomous AI-controlled ship with vision-based targeting and thrust behavior
#  - Asteroid spawning, health, splitting, and collision physics (elastic, resolved)
#  - Black holes that attract nearby objects and destroy on proximity/contact
#  - Missile launching with limited lifespan and projectile targeting
#  - Real-time particle system for visual effects (sparks on impact/destruction)
#  - LED-safe rendering pipeline using off-screen buffers and VSync frame swapping
#  - Numba-accelerated collision physics for performance on embedded hardware
#  - FPS tracking and average asteroid speed diagnostics
#
# Architectural Notes:
#  - GameObject is the parent class for all moving entities (Ship, Asteroids, Missiles)
#  - All rendering is done via LED.setpixelCanvas() into the back buffer, followed by
#    SwapOnVSync() to commit the frame
#  - A viewport window into the larger virtual space is centered around the display
#  - Ship behavior uses angular targeting and thrust arcs to avoid jittery movement
#  - `@njit` is used where high-frequency numeric operations are required (Numba)
#
# Known Limitations / To-Do:
#  - No player input; all gameplay is autonomous (demo-style)
#  - Ship has no health system (can’t be destroyed)
#  - No high score tracking or persistent state
