Pet project to studying async python
It allows you to fly in space while enjoying the twinkle of the stars.
The script generates randomly sparkling stars, a Starship that can be controlled by player
and Garbage objects that can destroy the player's Starship.
The game year is displayed in the lower right window corner.
As time goes by, there is more and more garbage. Dodging it becomes more difficult,
but at some point the player gets an OldTroopersBlaster weapon to destroy garbage.
