Alright... I wrote this game as a quick excercise in learning Adobe (then Macromedia) Flash, ActionScript specifically, back in 2002.
I really tried to make an asteroids-type game that looked quite authentic -- this is the reason the graphics aren't really really nice... I could have scanned some rocks, and put some nice bitmapped asteroids in, but what fun would that be?
The game is quite unfinished... you only have one life, and when you die, you have to reload the entire game to play again -- hitting F5 or Ctrl-R should work, depending on what broswer you have. I really don't know if I know where the source code is for this thing, so I can't actually guarantee I'll ever finish this game. (It could happen!)
Some keys you'll need to know:
| Turn Left | Cursor Left | |
| Turn Right | Cursor Right | |
| Thrust | Cursor Up | |
| Shoot | +/= key | |
| Warp | Spacebar |
The 'shoot' key is a throwback to my Star Control days... I'm not sure why I didn't make the warp key the minus key next to it. If I find the code, I'll change that.
Also, you have to allow browser pop-ups for the game to "pop up"!
Play AAsteroids!
