Semi-New School Asteroids

This is a demo Asteroids game I made in Java. It shows most of the features, including enemies, homing enemies, allies and different types of missiles. 99% of this game was made years ago, since then I've only tweaked it.




Objects shown
Bullet: destroys enemies and small rocks. breaks apart large and medium rocks. (yellow)
Missile: destroys any it comes in contact with. (green)
Guided Missile: locks onto an enemy or rock and chases it, also draws a cross hair over its target. same effectiveness as a bullet. (cyan)
Nuclear Missile: annihilates anything in a certain radius upon impact. (flashes red and white)
Mine: sits in place rotating, has the same effect as a bullet. (also yellow)
Rock: yields up to 2 of the next smallest size when struck, except the smallest. (gray)
Enemy: they fly in random paths, basically a wandering kamikaze. (red)
Chase Enemy: They lock onto the player and chase him down. both types of enemies can be set to fire bullets and missiles. (lighter red)
Ally: they are spawned in a random spot every certain about of points you get. they assist by shooting random missiles, g missiles and bullets. they are limited on missiles, similar to enemies. (yellow triangle)

Power ups
Bullet: 100 bullets spray out in a circle shape.
Missile: 90 missiles fan out like a wave.
Guided Missile: 90 of them are ejected similar to the previous.
Mine: 120 mines are laid out around the player making a shield of sorts. (not shown)
Ghost: allows the player to be immune to all attacks for a limited amount of time. (useless in cheat mode)

Other features
-Pause
-Toggle: sound, background, stroke, fill.
-Cheat mode
--Invulnerable, unlimited ammo, and/or "superman" where any and all enemies are destroyed on contact with the ship
-An angle reader that is inaccurate. I don't remember why.

My code could benefit from a tune up to make it more efficient, but I'm way too lazy.
The main class has 2293 lines.
Absolute total lines of code: 5601. About 500 lines consisted of unused features in my Canvas class, and approx, 150 lines of code I did not write myself.

Lets see, I don't think I forgot anything.

Please comment and tell me your thoughts.

i put a download link in the description.

Well, its not an applet, but I can send it to you anyway.

The source code would be fine enough for me, I'd just run it on my Java applet on my mac.

[ryan50ryan]

what format would you like, executable jar file or the source code? If you choose jar, I'll have to make some changes to allow it to run independently. It shouldn't be too hard unless theres something I'm forgetting about in the code.

[MrExclamationPoint]

Can I get a copy of this from you?

FYI, when i converted the "failure" section to a mpg, it gave everything an orange color.
