Java Asteroids

What is this project about?

This is my attempt at recreating the popular Atari game Asteroids in Java, using the LibGDX library. There is no reason for making this project outside of just a hobby I like to do. It is pretty much just to practice my Java skills.

When will Asteroids be finished?

I have no set completion date for the project. This is primarily just a hobby, and I try to work on it whenever I have time, just for fun.

Can I try playing it?

Sure! Also, I would love feedback on it, however, at the time of writing this, the game is nowhere near complete. It has what I would consider the smallest amount of functionality to be considered playable. You're still welcome to try it out in the releases section!

Controls:

  • Move forward: W or UP
  • Rotate clockwise: D or RIGHT
  • Rotate counterclockwise: A or LEFT
  • Fire: Left click (MOUSE1)
  • Stop moving (only in debug mode): S or DOWN

Flags:

  • -d: Debug mode (shows hitboxes, logs all entities in console, allows "stop moving" key)

How can I provide feedback about the project?

If you simply found a weird bug or something does not seem quite right, make a ticket in the Issues tab. If you have other feedback or suggestions for the project, you can contact me via email at [email protected]. I usually respond quite fast, and always open to suggestions.
