Asteroids

=========

The classic arcade game, sped up, written in plain JavaScript using HTML5 Canvas.

## Features

* "Drag" (er..no drag in space...reverse thrusters?) for natural-feeling ship motion

* Increasing number of asteroids with every new level

* Shiny Space Bullets™ implemented with some Canvas shadow-property trickery.

## Dependencies

Uses Thomas Fuchs's [KeyMaster](https://github.com/madrobby/keymaster) library.

The game also renders much better on WebKit browsers (e.g., Safari and Google Chrome) than on Firefox.

## Acknowledgements

Mark Pilgrim's [Dive Into HTML5](http://diveintohtml5.info) tutorial and 

Marijn Haverbeke's [Eloquent JavaScript](http://eloquentjavascript.net/contents.html) were

great resources in creating this.

## Future additions

* Asteroids breaking up into smaller asteroids upon being shot

* Asteroids created with random size

* Asteroids created with jagged edges

* Game music!
