NOTICE:
I will not tolerate any comments commanding me, energeticly suchesting me, or forcing me to make an improvement or change my game in any way, as these comments will be rudely responded.


An original arcade classic, where the player has to shoot endless waves of asteroids. The idea came from a python tutorial book. Credit goes to Michael Dawson, the one who wrote the tutorial book. There are also Pygame wrappers included, a set of old Livewires modules, originally built for Pygame 1.5.2, which have been edited by Michael Dawson. Pass outs will be in winrar format and executables. For more information on winrar format, click here.

Controls:

left: turn left
right: turn right
up: speed up
down: slow down (only in 2.1 and up)
space: shoot missile
q: quit (only in 2.0 and up)
x: quit (only in 1.0 and 1.1)
s: stop (only in 2.1 and up)
