Asteroids: First Playable Release

It has been a while since I posted about cloning the arcade classic Asteroids

So I though I would post up my work in progress clone. It is about 80% finished at this point and is an actual playable arcade clone.

So what made it to this first release?

  • Player movement.
  • Player lives and death.
  • Asteroids, movement and splitting.
  • Scores.
  • Sound effect for most actions.
  • Multi language support via Google Translate
  • Flying Saucers

So what is yet to come?

  • Online high scores
  • Player explosion animation
  • Small flying saucers shooting needs to target the player
  • Play testing and tweaking

Since the list of things not in the game does not stop it from being playable I have decided to do a release now and see if I can get any feedback on it. I will release the source code to Asteroids after I have finished up the remaining items on the to do list.

So for now you can have fun and give Asteroids v0.11 a bash.
Play Asteroids
