Asteroids

Asteroids is a 2D game developed in Lua using the LOVE2D framework.

You play as a square spaceship that shoots projectiles at circular asteroids. More asteroids spawn as you go through the stages. There are shield and weapon power ups! Try to reach level 40 and beat the game!

I developed this for the CS50 final project. I give thanks to the creators of CS50, How to LOVE, and learn2love. All of these online courses provided great knowledge and insight in creating this game.

The original goal was to create a game like Asteroids. It didn't turn out exactly as I imagined with asteroids floating around space, but nevertheless, the game evolved into something I am satisfied with. I am not sure if I should keep the title as Asteroids but it was the main inspiration when I began developing this prototype.
