Here's a screenshot from my current WIP - Rocks from Space.

It's a fairly straight forward Asteroids clone. The player ship is in, rotating and thrusting whilst leaving a trail of flames behind it.

Player bullets are in (the little green blob), and I'm now starting on the asteroids.

Still plenty to do, including collisions, scoring, enemy suacers a menu and hi-score system, but hopefully it shouldn't take too long.

I'm doing player movement 'old-skool' style by manually calculating vectors and applying thrust and friction. I will look at the physics stuff on my next project.

Looks good, I have always liked that style of game.

Nice and simple. Looks good.

Cheers Just wish I had additive blending to pretty it up a bit.

More progress...

I've put in a title screen, asteroids which you can blow up, and a ufo that comes along every now and then and takes pot shots at you. I've also been making changes to the code ready for its addition to the ADG Arcade project.

Not a lot left to do now, so hopefully I'll have a major push over the weekend and get it finished.

Looking great! Can't wait to try it. Didn't realise you were going to be finished so quickly

Wow, yes, that's looking good! How are you doing that glowing effect? Is it drawn that way? Or something else?

Either way, looks too cool!

Thanks

The glow was added in PaintShop Pro. It's a bit of a cheat, but it looks good enough
