Space Junk Dodger 1.0

This is a little game that I made with my son (I did most of the code, he did a bunch of playtesting ;-) ). It was inspired by a game that I remember from my own childhood on the Atari 800 XL where you had to fly a spaceship around and dodge the space junk. If you survived for long enough, you got a brief reprieve while the next "level" started before the junk started flying at you again!

The pixel-perfect collision code is based off of this cart by joshmillard

I still consider it rough enough around the edges that I'm not ready to release it as "Done" but it's fully playable. "X" restarts when you crash, "C" toggles the bounding boxes (and maybe some other debugging information O:-) )

Happy flying!
