About

This project is a recreation of Atari's Asteroids. In this simple game, you control a spaceship and shoot bullets to break floating asteroids. You must avoid collisions with any asteroids or alien spaceships.

This project helps in understanding Object-Oriented programming by using classes for the asteroids and spaceships. Likewise, inheritance plays a big part in this project.

Graphics were created with OpenGL using freeglut.

Bugs

• TODO: fix crashes when firing bullets
