Asteroids!
A clone made by @mccolgst
Press Z to start or to fire
Left and Right Arrows to aim ship
Up Arrow to thrust
Still new to game development, and I didn't realize how much I was getting myself into by making this 'simple' clone! Learned a bunch of cool stuff about geometry and a lot of cool and interesting features in pico8 (like how the sin and cos functions work) Very fun!


I feel like the asteroids are scared of me when I blow them all up and keep firing at the end of the level. Heheheh... so low key and does what it needs to do. I really do like the simple explosion effect. Perfect for its aesthetic. But yeah, the asteroid respawn(s) happen only after the player's shots are gone. So I am making it a feeling.


Hi. Great work. Like the accuracy of your clone. I'm new at this and on my learning path. I realy like to know how you generate this rocks.
If I am right you use this asteroid_shapes as basic instruction for drawing the lines. Bit I do not understand your algorithm. Maybe you can explain what this part of the code does: asteroid.shape=flr(rnd(#asteroid_shapes[asteroid.w]))+1 ?
Has anyone a good tutorial source for this kind of gemotric canvas stile drawing ?
thanks
