Xoids is an asteroids-type game written for X in my (spare) time. The
game was originally developed on a Sun4 system while on an oceanographic
research cruise. It's by no means finished.
While Xoids is strikingly similar to the original Asteroids game,
there are some differences:
o Full color pixmaps
o One or Two Player (duel and cooperative) modes
o Can bounce off asteroids instead of dying (if going slow)
o Shots have relative speed, and impart intertia to the ship
o Asteroids have appropriate "masses": realistic physics
o The alien (called the Slurb) tracks players rather than
flying around aimlessly
o Thrusting and using hyperspace can overheat your engines (boom!)
o Co-op mode links players together via a flexible space-cable
