Planets is a clone of the ever popular, classic game Asteroids. Of course, it is not the fully fledged game itself, but an imitation. (For example, the scoring system is much simpler - it's only based on how many hits you make.) Fun, nevertheless, I hope.
This project was meant as Javascript practice - specifically with canvas.js. Even so, there are certain features I am happy about - and some I have made peace with.
- White on Black contrast in interface
- Evident ship rotation
- Limitation of ship's max speed. (Seriously, the thing could go so fast, it would become a steady beam of light on the screen.)
- Randomised but handle-able planets
- Planets, not asteroids. Could get the asteroids to look like asteroids, but not collision
- Not true collision detection.
- Detection determined on basis of radius from center
- Limited bullets per shot
Feel like trying it out? Of course you do!
