This game began as a GameMaker Tutorial. But I wasn't content to leave a few pixelated rocks floating around a screen forever. What would it mean to really, *really* make a decent Asteroids game in the amateur scene in 2023?

This ongoing (and constantly evolving) project is my attempt to answer this exact question.

Buckle in and enjoy the ride!
