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.
