Short Game: Avoid The Asteroids!!!


Avoid The Asteroids!!!
An attempt to create a short endless game, with the objective being to last as long as possible while navigating the ship through an asteroid field. The inspiration is taken from both extremely antiquated games on consoles like the Atari 2600 and arcade machines, as well as modern games where there is no goal other than to last as long as possible.

Coded in Processing 3, it utilizes a simple array in order to randomly generate the asteroids, as well as simple location movements in order to implement the controls. A distance checker to serves as a basic collider, with the ship's location being measured against every object in the array. When the distance between the ship and an asteroid reaches a certain value, it triggers the collision function (i.e losing the game.) Finally, a simple timer to indicate how long the player has survived.
