Overview
jsAsteroids is a clone of a famous arcade game written in 1979.
It was created as a demo for the open source game engine
arcade.js.
This game requires HTML5 support, namely <canvas> and <audio>.
Therefore it will not run on Internet Explorer <= 8.
It was tested however with Firefox 3.6, Chrome 8, Safari 5, iPod 3, and
iPhone 4 and seems to run. Only sound is a bit flakey.
Usage
The goal of this game is remove asteroids floating around.
