Asteroids — Arcade physics in Java

Overview

The arcade classic, built in Java with JavaFX: a ship with thrust and rotation, wrapping vector movement, bullets, and asteroid collisions. One of my early projects — clip below, source on GitHub.

Demo

Highlights

• Vector movement with screen-wrap, frame-based rotation + thrust, and projectile/asteroid collision detection.
• Pure Java + JavaFX, no engine — the game loop and physics are hand-rolled.
• An early project that made the math-meets-code loop click for me.
