== Asteroids Game ==

Requirements:

  • Ruby 1.8.6 - I’ve tested this against OS X’s default Ruby (in 10.5), plus the latest Ruby One-Click Installer on Windows.

Prerequisites:

  • Gosu - sudo gem install gosu (sudo not required for Windows of course)

To Play:

  • ruby asteroids_game_window.rb (or runme.bat on Windows)

Controls:

  • Left Arrow - Turn Left
  • Right Arrow - Turn Right
  • Up Arrow - Move Forward
  • Space - Fire Bullet
  • Left Shift - Hyperspace (randomly relocates you on screen)

== Improvements ==

a) Positioning of text labels
b) Adding high-scores
c) Sound effects
d) Introduce more graphical effects
