Requires Java to open
I started on this during the summer between first and second year of university. I believe this was the first of my projects to have a traditional game loop with regular input, game and animation updates. I progressed fairly well with this but ultimately abandoned it as the summer finished and started up at university again, I never went back to complete it.
Controls are arrow keys for moving the ship, and space bar to fire shots.
Features
- Basic framework for an asteroids game.
- Ship movement and shooting.
- Random asteroid/polygon generation.
- Collision detection.
- Screen wrapping for the ship and the asteroid.
- Auto-pauses when the window loses focus.
- A nifty space background image that I created myself!
