Origins of Zasx - The SpeedHack 2001 compo

Zasx is my SpeedHack 2001 entry, which means version 1 was done in less than 72 hours :-) Zasx is an Asteroids clone, although vastly improved. The goal is simple: clear the asteroid fields wave after wave. Sounds easy? Think again. Features 640x480x8 with full frame animations, color additive effects and multiplayer support!
Source code and Windows binary are available, although it's compilable (and runs!) in DOS, Linux, X-Windows, BeOS, and MacOS.

See the screen shots, Download the game, and, most importantly, enjoy!

  • Very smooth graphics. Fun fun. - CorazonAzul
  • Really sweet asteroid clone. Neato music. The additive blending really makes it look cool. Good Job. - Tom St Denis
