It was a finalist in a 2002 competion for a college course entitled ""Introduction to Computer Graphics.""The boundries of your flying area are determined by a checkered box.When you leave through one side of this cube, you reappear on the opposite end, in much they same way as asteroids except in 3 dimensions.There are three different views in this game:First person view is a view from your spaceship looking forward.Third person view is looking towards your spacecraft from behind and above.This view allows you to see any asteroids which may be coming towards you from behind.And the static view as its name impies allows you to look at the whole asteroid belt from a fixed location.You earn oints by shooting asteroids and other objects and collecting power ups.The first level is dificult and the higher levels are even much more so.Basic Controls:All Keypad keys are with NUM LOCK OFFMousemovement: Controls ship directionkeypad 4/6 = Left/Rightkeypad 8/5 = Up/Downkeypad 7/9 = Roll Left/RightLeft Mouse Button/Tab = FireRight Mouse Button/Keypad 0 = ThrustMiddle Mouse Button/Space = ShieldOther Controls:F1 = First Person ViewF2 = Third Person ViewF3 = Static ViewF9 = Toggle Particle EffectsF10 = Toggle Inverted ControlsF11/F12 = Dcreasde/Increase Video Resolution 640x 480 to 1600x1200Alt Enter = Toggle Full ScreenLeft/Right Brackets ([]) = Music Volume Up/DownBackslash () = Change Music ModeSingle Quote (') = Next SongComma/Period (,.) = Sound Effercts Volume Up/DownEsc = Pause/HelpQuit = Esc and then QThere is at least one hidden keyboard control.If you think that 2D Asteroids is to dificult for you,Then you might just want to pass this one up.Reviewed by Mark S.
