A small console game written in Nim.

Compile

nim default asteroids.nim

Precompiled binaries for Linux can be found here.

Run

./asteroids

It requires a Unicode compatible console to work best. Unfortunately it doesn't really work well on Windows.

  w, a, s, d

Highscore

My personal highscore is 188.

Tips

• use the cool-retro-term terminal with burn-in effect disabled
• maximize your terminal (F11 or Alt + F11 or similar)
• don't be slow!
