Asteroids (itch) (Alex Graham)

The first game I made in C++ for a piece of coursework for my degree. 

The asteroids theme was chosen for us as an incomplete shell of a game, in order to avoid the work being too complicated for C++ newbies. We had to finish coding the game and inject our own flavour into it along the way. My spin was the inclusion of a 'bossteroid', I kept the regular asteroids as GL_LINEs drawn by the engine rather than sprites, so I could also draw what I envisioned to be the biggest baddest bossteroid in the galaxy. Can you beat the bossteroid?

How to play

Use the left and right arrow keys to rotate your ship, use the up arrow key to thrust forward. Press the spacebar to shoot. Blow up all the asteroids on screen to progress to the next level.
