This is an open source version of the classic Asteroids game.
The software is intended to be highly customizable, with virtually every feature being configurable by modifying the source code. SDL Asteroids aims to deliver a highly realistic experience, complete with vector-based object motion, accurate gravitational pull, and other advanced features.
However, users should be aware of the major memory leaks present in the software. Leaving the game running in the menu causes a significant increase in memory usage, but playing the game itself does not heavily impact memory. In such cases, restarting the program is recommended. The developers of the software promise to fix this issue in an upcoming release.
To enjoy background music in the game, users need to download the music pack and follow the instructions in the included installation guide. Despite the issues mentioned above, SDL Asteroids remains a highly enjoyable game, and one that promises to improve significantly with future releases.
