This is a learning project made while learning javascript. It's an asteroids clone, because whenever one learns a new language, it's fun to make a game in it, and I happen to like asteroids.
Keyboard:
- LEFT (or A) and RIGHT (or D) rotate the player ship
- UP (or W) accelerates the player ship
- DOWN (or S) reverses
- SPACE fires the disintegrator
- P pauses, ENTER unpauses
- Z activates the Omega 13: "Enough time to undo a single mistake" Note that if charged, you can use this even if your ship is destroyed.
- ENTER starts the game, restarts on destruction (remember to try Z if you can)
- U resets the high score to all zeros
Oh no! Some hooligans are dumping space rocks in to Subspace Locus 1457 again!
Luckily, a dedicated rescue and rock-buster ship is already prepped and on-site. That's you!
- Try to keep Subspace Locus 1457 safe for travelers.
- If any ships get hit by rocks, pick up their lifepods and deliver them to the medbay in the North East quadrant for treatment.
- If you pick up any crystalline minerals from busting rocks, deliver those to the prospector base in the South West quadrant for analysis.
- If you get into a jam, hopefully you have enough charge on your Omega-13 to try again. Good luck!
