Xoids is an asteroids-type game written for X in my (spare) time. The
|
|
game was originally developed on a Sun4 system while on an oceanographic
|
|
research cruise. It's by no means finished.
|
|
|
|
While Xoids is strikingly similar to the original Asteroids game,
|
|
there are some differences:
|
|
|
|
o Full color pixmaps
|
|
o One or Two Player (duel and cooperative) modes
|
|
o Can bounce off asteroids instead of dying (if going slow)
|
|
o Shots have relative speed, and impart intertia to the ship
|
|
o Asteroids have appropriate "masses": realistic physics
|
|
o The alien (called the Slurb) tracks players rather than
|
|
flying around aimlessly
|
|
o Thrusting and using hyperspace can overheat your engines (boom!)
|
|
o Co-op mode links players together via a flexible space-cable
