Asteroids 3D V0.3 - 03/13/11 17:49
This is now version 0.3 of my newbie project. I moved it to "Projects" to leave the "Showcase" area to more advanced games with exciting visual effects and shaders.
The project is a kind of family project. My children did most of the model stuff.
I'm still looking for a better name. "Asteroids 3D" does IMHO not fit, because gameplay is different to the classic Asteroid game. I'm thinking about names like "Otheroids" or "Odd Satellites" - any good idea is wellcome.
The Story
Technical advanced aliens threaten earth. For human it is essential to explore their technology.
Your mission is to steel as much as possible of the hi tech but strange looking satellites from the orbit of several planets. A bunch of asteroids and some hostile drones endanger this job.
The Game
You can collect satellites (the funny items) by flying through. You can also shoot at the items to get points - but these items are not counted as collected. To finish a level you need to collect the given (mostly 10 or 5) number of satellites within the time period. Avoid the asteroids and be aware of the drones - if they shoot at you its recommended to change your speed or direction.
If you shoot at asteroids they are bouncing a bit and change their rotation. This can be helpful to collect items from the hole of a "donut-asteroid".
Special items (watch and rocket) give extra time for finishing the level or additional live.
Every 5th level is a bonus level. there are no enemies and no asteroids. These levels are just for fun and collecting points.
Important to mention: your space ship is remote controlled - so you are save and you can't die in this game.
Control
The best way to control the game is a 3 axis joystick with speed lever and fire button.
Keyboard:
Arrow keys rotate the ship
Pos1/PgUp roll the ship
<Space> increase speed
<B> slow down
<V> or <Shift> shoot
alternative to arrow keys the letters waszqe can be used
Camera positions can be switched with keys 1-4
Have fun! (My 12 year old son made it up to level 24 and ~40.000 points during testing - LPF reached Level 38)
Asteroids 3D download
Since spring is coming, I will have less time for this indoor hobby. Also I'm not in the mood to do the boring stuff (menues, configuration, highscore, ...)
So I put the sourcecode just as it is (no cleanup) here and you can use it for any purpose.

There was an error in level 38 (too big planet), this is corrected in the actual download, to fix former downloads replace this : Updated Level.dat
