Navigate your starship through a harrowing asteroid field dodging rocks and narrowly avoiding destruction! By using the 'A' and 'D' key you can strafe left and right, and press 'W' to continue going straight. For a fun color scheme press 'N' to toggle shading by normals!
Initially when it came to brainstorming for a final project I immediately knew it would be a type of game because that is what first interested me in graphics. I tried to concieve something with a balance of complexity and achievability within the given time frame. I initially had many more ideas I wanted to implement but due to time constraints as well as lack of experience in new technologies, I finally settled to implementing the project you see here. It's a fun little game that I feel can keep people entertained, the whole point of games!
I can't wait until Disney finds this website and slaps me with a hefty lawsuit.
