For this module we have to design a game based on the classic arcade game Asteroids using similar coding that we pick up as we re-create the game in flash. Personally the controls of the original game (left and right for rotating and up for thrust) seem very erratic and hard to control for me, a bit like when your ice skating. This idea caught on as I came up with the idea of a shipwrecked man stuck on a sheet of ice trying not to fall into the water. Originally I was going to have polar bears and penguins on the ice with you, the penguins would be moving randomly like the asteroids in the original and the polar bears would move towards you, but talking to my lecturer about it I realised this would be really hard to do so I decided on having the ice beneath the player melt if he stands there too long. I also decided on a slightly perspective screen where the player gets smaller the further away from the screen is, this may cause problems with seeing where your going at the back so I might change it to a birds eye view instead.
