Nix Flake for boot.dev Asteroids Project

The Build Asteroids using Python and Pygame semi-guided project on boot.dev requires the use of uv for the boot-cli tests. I had some issues getting pygame to actually open the game window on NixOS and figured I probably needed some additional libraries/packages, so this is a flake meant to address that + the uv requirement.

• Clone this repo

• Enable direnv activation for the project
  • direnv allow
• Create virtual environment that will be activated automatically by direnv when entering directory
