A remake of the classic game Asteroids for the Atari, this game has been a favorite of many generations. Controls: Arrow Keys and Space Bar. You and your ship have one task: clear the asteroid field. To do this, fire the asteroids to break them into smaller pieces, all while avoiding being hit by debris. Shoot all the debris to go to the next level! But be mindful: your laser can only shoot but so far. Your ship has inertia, and you can only thrust forward. So to "stop", you have to turn around and thrust in the opposite direction. Don't worry about hitting the edge...you'll just pop up on the other side! But keep in mind, asteroids move like that too, so you have to keep an eye out on the whole field. BONUS: If you shoot toward the edge of the screen, your laser beam will show up across the other side as well. You can target any asteroid on screen, no matter what direction you're poin t ing.
This project is inspired by the original game. There are 3 sprites: the ship, the laser beam, and the asteroid. The lasers shoot by making clones of themselves and pointing in the ship's dir ection, and the asteroids break apart by making s dsamaller clones of themselves too. The asteroids spawn at the edges of the screen, and move in random directions.
