Indeed :) Your version looks very nice! You have a real knack with the graphics styles! I am going for a more retro look using plain ol' lines and points. I am using the mouse as my input device which is different and it works really well - should create some nice frantic gameplay. At the moment I'm trying to get some collision detection working, I'm using bounding boxes for the asteroids but I want to introduce a second detection stage using line intersection or something so that its more precise. I'm using the asteroids game as a stepping stone to a thrust/solar-jetman remake, using the mouse again. Anyway, Matt, if you need any beta testers, I'd be happy to oblige! Andy M. BTW... has anyone downloaded the Rockstar Classics second release; Wild Metal Country?? (http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/) - It's fantastic, I only ever played the demo - it's such a fun game!
