SMasteroids

A game in honor of the St. Mark's science faculty and the Winn Science Building.

Playing the Game

You can obtain pre-built releases of the game from the Releases page. These are generally more reliable than development builds.

Note that for Windows, you must use 7-Zip to unzip the folder, as File Explorer does not work properly.

If your platform is not already included, you may also compile the program yourself using a standard Go toolchain with CGO enabled.

Compatible Joysticks

As of right now, there are mappings for the following controllers:

• Joy-Con (L)
• Joy-Con (R)
• 8Bitdo SFC30 GamePad
• Dualshock 3 controller.

If you would like to use a different controller, either use a program to bind it to the keyboard controls, or open an issue with the specific type of controller.

Built With

• faiface/pixel -- seriously, an incredible game library.
• jakecoffman/cp - 2D physics engine.
• Build scripts are based on MIT-licensed code by Humphrey Shotton.
• Blood, sweat, and tears.
