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