Project Notes

Post-upload edit: For some reason the Acceleration and Rotation Speed sliders that are supposed to appear on the title screen aren't working (download it, they'll be fine), and it's added some awful reverb/echo effect to what are supposed to be plain "bleep" sounds (making the "shooting doesn't work" blurp almost silent in the process). Argh. Oh well, at least you get the best-choice defaults anyway. And it's still pretty small :)


trying to get some simple asteroids type thing on the go


so far i'm just aiming to get the starfield and ship movement working (including hyperspace), a couple of retro sounds and everything to initialise properly


after that: shooting, floating rocks, explosions, death, score, and making the rotation/acceleration (and eventually difficulty & lives?) controls on the main screen look more convincingly retro


after all that: simulating lower screen resolution (240x180, or maybe making it look portrait with a pretend arcade box border - 240x320)
