Asteroid Cresta

Asteroid Cresta is a fast paced Open Source Asteroids style retro game which features stunning two-color vector graphics. Released with source code under the GNU General Public License. Believing that the world needed another asteroid re-make, I began this game in 2004 for a bit fun. I have used it at various times as a testbed for developing skills in new programming frameworks. Initially, it was written for Borland C++ Builder and while I used Borland's VCL for the front-end, I wrote the back-end code in clean C++. This meant I was later able to swap-out the front-end code and replace it with a wxWidget implementation. I initially released the game under the under the name of "Celesteroids". With this version, as well as changing the name, I swapped-out wxWidgets and replaced it with Nokia's QT framework. I have also improved the playability a little I hope. Asteroid Cresta is licensed as freeware, full size of the download is 5.21 MB. You can download a free copy of Asteroid Cresta by following download link at Free Downloads section of this page. Asteroid Cresta is developed or distributed by Big Angry Dog and is listed under games & entertainment arcade.
