Description

Well, I could never find the perfect asteroids clone, so I started making my own. I wanted the player ship to be highly maneuverable and fun to play. It's based off the DirectX SDK Simple Sample and uses 2D textured quads with an isometric view. The collision detection currently only uses rectangles but I plan to add per-pixel collisions in the next version. I wanted to share it others and get feedback. Enjoy!!!
