SDL Asteroids Description

An open source implementation of the classic game "Asteroids" SDL Asteroids is a highly enhanced, SDL-based, open source implementation of the oldschoole game of Asteroids that runs on both Linux and Windows.Binaries for both systems are included in the archive, and they both use the same data files. It is currently still in the process of development, but is already very playable, with a basic menu interface and an infinite number of levels. It is designed to be highly modular, with essentially every feature able to be customized (mostly from the source code, not from the actual program yet). It also aims to be highly realistic, with vector-based object motion, (relatively) accurate gravitational pull, and other advanced features.WARNING: I just discovered that there are major memory leaks in the program that I had previously not discovered (give me a break - this is my first time programming a game). More specifically, leaving the program running in the menu will eat up memory at a ridiculous rate, while actually playing the game doesn't leak too much memory. If this begins to slow down your computer, simply restart the program. I will hopefully have this fixed in the next release.Note: In order to have background music in the game, you'll need to download the music pack and follow the directions in the Installation Instructions (included with the program). Requirements: · SDL · SDL_image · SDL_mixer · SDL_net · SDL_ttf · SDL_gfx What's New in This Release: · New in this release are fixes of the major memory leaks present in earlier releases, improved fullscreen support, better framerate configuration, several major bugfixes, and much more.
