A battle between spaceships with multiple waves, asteroids, and no friction!

Controls:

Left/Right arrows: Turn your spaceship

Up arrow: Accelerate in the direction you’re facing

Space (A button): Shoot in the direction you’re facing

Reviews, ideas for more, and tips are welcome!

Instead of adding friction, perhaps add a max speed so you don’t go flying away.

Here’s the updated version, with a max velocity (x and y) of -100 and 100

I think I found a bug, when you get to Vx 100 and Vy 100 then there is a chance that the game will shoot you in the other direction without you pressing anything,Vx -100 Vy -100.

What were the coordinates?

I added a sort-of barrier to the edges (at 1000 or -1000 x and y) that accelerates you in the opposite direction to keep you from going to far, where nothing is generated.

It might be different, but I think that you may have simply exceeded 1000 or -1000 (x or y) and the game pushed you in the opposite direction.

Minor update:

All I did was add friction (most wanted in the vote). Another update (attacks) is coming soon!

Also, I previously forgot to mention this:

B to pin your coordinates (mark them on the yellow text below)

Update #3!

Added a new attack.

Now you can press (the key) C to launch a missile! The missile only goes in one direction, has a longer cool-down time, and doesn’t home in on anything, but it does more damage and it goes faster than the regular projectile.

I’ve decided to keep going with this game, but I am working on other things right now, so updates will be slow.

Anyway, another (very)minor update - I changed the color palette to one I like better.
