One last idea...right now, I can't find any way to slow the ship down. So what happens is the ship gets going too fast and I crash into something. Maybe you could add a little friction into the ship motion so it slows down eventually?
I do think the key response could be improved though - you've got that key lag problem. Here's a technique you might want to try to smooth it out:

That is awesome! I love the "Rocks" and the scoring system. You might want to mention in the Project Notes that Space also makes a new ship appear...I waited a LONG time for my next ship - lol!
Awesome! One suggestion: when you come back to life, can you not go in the middle? I keep on getting clobbered by an asteroid as soon as I get back to life!
I set it up so that you wouldn't have to come back to life until you were ready and the middle was open. I should figure out a way to only have you reappear where there are no balls. Thanks. -augie
I got 12,400 points! Great project! I like the classic asteroid movement, but I didn't see those almost-invisible things coming! Very clever! I give this project 2 thumbs-up, 5 stars, and an A+ for excellence! Keep up the good work!
Hope you enjoy your time with Space Balls. Post your high score below. -Augie

thanks. i like the idea of friction. for now the back arrow slows the ship. -augie
(view all replies)Much better! I got up to 10500. Those invisible rocks are sneaky!
