WINNERS DON'T DO DRUGS
DARE TO SAY STEROIDS = CR*P!


trying to get some simple asteroids type thing on the go


this version with some code tweaks removing some dumb redundant stuff in the hyperspace and shoot loop delays; making shoot bleep a bit more audible; all-purpose ship sprite split to ship, star drawing dot and ok button to avoid equally dumb graphics glitches; and twiddling the spin/thrust strength sliders around to try and convince Scratch online to actually show the damn things.


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)
