Before I give you the game, I want to give massive thanks to @WoofWoof for figuring out some of the angular code. I have made a space shooter that has 360° movement with no friction, gravity wells, and shooting! This is just a rough mockup of the movement and physics.

Should I continue making this? ---

wow love it!! very cool movement system, it’s nice and refreshing to see something different for movement, it’s normally just done with a regular move block for shooter/space games. would be super cool to use the extra effects extension for the rocket particles and also for the bullets also make the bullets affected by the wells! ---

Aha!!! The lasers are actually effected by the gravity wells as well, although since I am using the proper formulas for gravity, they aren’t effected as much. ---

By the way, here is some of the messy code that is going on! ![Screenshot 2025-05-03 at 10.31.05](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/3/1/316679c056d60be3473ebae96aa6f24af23b67b7.png) Most of this code is saving my character’s position and stats. This means that I can destroy my player, create one with a different image, then rotate it. Otherwise I couldn’t have the thrusters. ---

I saw this and immediately walked away from my computer took out my Atari 2600 and played astroids for half an hour. 10/10 Nice work! ---

I made it better!!! Now introducing my custom status bars, made with maths! > **[starblast](https://arcade.makecode.com/66121-97804-11071-71084)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. Also the character is blue for some reason 🙂 I am having way too much fun with this… Next I will be adding enemy behaviour, ship trees, text sprites for the number of energy, shields, and minerals, a menu, and waves of enemies. I really think this game has potential; I am very proud of my custom status bars.
