Description:
This is a simple Asteroids type game for the HTC Touch Diamond written in OpenGL ES. It utilizes the G-Sensor, Nav Sensor, and 3D hardware capabilities of the device.
The game is simple:
- Move the ship by tilting the device.
- Don't run into an asteroid.
- Blow up the asteroids into tiny pieces.
- When an asteroid spawns (it will be faded out), you have 5 seconds to get away from it before it can hurt you.
- Rotate the Nav sensor clockwise to fire a bullet.
- Rotate the Nav sensor counter clockwise to fire a spray of bullets. You can only use this special ability once every 5 seconds.
- Asteroids spawn every 15 seconds.
This is mostly intended as a demo or proof of concept to provide other developers starting ground to create their own amazing games for the HTC Touch Diamond.
Known bugs:
- Small asteroids are hard to explode. The bullets travel "through" them between repaints, so they never actually collide. I may fix this in the future.
