Notes

• Hubble telescope picture used for background
• Asteroids progressively shrink with each hit until they are wiped out with the third hit
• Vector based motion of asteroids, created with random placement and direction
• Acceleration and constant motion of ship to reflect Newton's laws of motion in a vacuum
• An advanced levelling system where additional asteroids spawn for each level the player completes
• Sound effects for shooting (pew) and when asteroids are hit (boom)
• Gain an extra life every 10,000 points!
