Asteroids Game

Asteroids

is a space-themed multidirectional shooter arcade game designed by Lyle Rains, Ed Logg, and Dominic Walsh and released in November 1979 by Atari, Inc.

This is a remake of the game that I wrote in Javascript using the p5.js framework. It uses something called Perlin noise to generate randomly shaped polygons that construct the flying rocks. (See below for the controls.)
  • 'd' and 'a' to rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise.
  • 'w' to thrust.
  • SPACEBAR to shoot.
  • 'r' to reset
  • 'b' to toggle debug lines.
