Space Race WIP

I'm doing a WIP called space race. I'm intending on using it as a basis for some tutorial when I get it done the way I want it. Right now, you can pretty much just fly around looking bored :)

When it's finished, it'll be a game using line graphics like the original asteroids game. You and an opponent, who could be the computer AI, race around a mazelike field trying to avoid the walls, and each other. :-)

Ok, I've updated the program a bit. First I fixed some problems I had with the geometry cause I was using ATan2 improperly. Proper syntax is ATan2(y,x) and not ATan2(x,y) like I was using it. Also added the computer ship, although all he does now is spin around in place being an obstacle in your flight.

I like the extreme retro feeling. Reminds me of pong.

heheh....

Except I can't get the code down to 1 line of 512 characters :)

That one-line pong sure was cool..sadly no AI. Oh well.

Is very retro. No one thinks retro is fun. But you'll show them! YOU WILL!

One thing: why is it called a "2D drawing game?"

It isn't retro enough for me. Please remove the color.

If I want color, I'll use plastic overlays, thank you.

=)

It's a "2D line drawing" game. As in the type of graphics it uses. The game draws lines instead of using images. The same way that the original Asteroids did. And Battlezone, Tempest, and a few others I can't remember off hand.

....all the cool ones?
