About
A vector-display arcade game, *Asteroids* is a shoot 'em up where the player pilots a ship through a field of asteroids and enemy saucers. The core mechanics involve destroying asteroids and saucers while avoiding collisions or enemy fire, with the difficulty increasing as more asteroids spawn. Set in an endless 2D space that wraps around the screen, the game was inspired by earlier space combat titles and refined through iterative development.
