Cool. What compo and why no source?

I'm curious about the engine physics, because I'm working on a similar game. I want to see if you solution for steering is similar to mine.

Was a personal challenge rather than a competition.

I reused some old code from Nanohost for parts of it.

Source on the way.

Fun game mambazo.

- Level ups to keep it interesting, but without complicating or interfering with the game too much

- Good visual system

- Good physics system

- And as a new player the difficulty level is spot on. ie. I get to be good at the game right off the bat, but with plenty of room for improvement.

Impressive stuff.

Looks good.

Could the HUD be bigger? I find it hard to see.

Any maybe a quick explaination for the edn user about the upgrades and the weapons, on maybe a title screen?

Side Note: in the code you couse generate sin/cos tables to speed it up, but speed is not an issue on my machine. heh.

I don't plan to do any more on this game, but feel free to do so yourself :)

great fun, I plan to tweak/nerf it. :P

edit:
for bullets to add ships velocity
scroll down to line 362 and add
+ .vel.x
line 363
+ .vel.y

another nice change around line 600, for wraparound

I'll check this one out further still, methinks.
