Turtle Crossing Game

Turtle Crossing is a simple game developed using Python's Turtle module. The player controls a turtle character that needs to cross a busy road without getting hit by cars. The goal is to reach the other side of the road safely.

How to Play

1. Run the Python script turtle_crossing.py.
2. Use the Up arrow key to move the turtle character upwards.
3. Avoid colliding with cars moving across the road.
4. Reach the other side of the road to advance to the next level.
5. The game gets progressively harder with each level.

Gameplay Features

• Player Controls: Use the Up arrow key to move the turtle character.
• Obstacles: Cars move horizontally across the screen, and the player must avoid colliding with them.
• Levels: The game becomes more challenging as the player advances through levels, with more cars moving at higher speeds.
• Scoreboard: Keep track of your score and current level as you play.

• turtle_crossing.py: Main Python script containing the game logic.
• player.py: Module defining the player's character and its movements.
• car_manager.py: Module managing the cars' movements and generation.
• scoreboard.py: Module handling the game scoreboard and level progression.
