Uh, but.. Umm, uh... hmmm........
Actually, I wanted the game to have have a bit of a "simulator" nature.
Hyperspace is an arcade nature... I figured skill will keep you out of
trouble. (I was wrong, though... I keep getting blown up and stuff, but
at least I don't teleport into a giant rock.... :)
The first two Asteroids clones I played didn't have hyperspace.... I
tried to model the game after them, instead of Asteroids. I think I
succeeded in surpassing them, except that I just need more powerups.
It wouldn't be hard to enable hyperspace for an arcade mode, though:
if find(L_SHIFT, input) or find(R_SHIFT, input) then -- Define R and L
SHIFTs
player[X] = rand(640)
player[Y] = rand(480)
-- Cut code from damaged ship in update_bullets() to here and slow
-- down the particles and make them last longer for a cool
-- "space distortion" effect.
player[XV] = player[XV] * .5 -- Slow player down a little
player[YV] = player[YV] * .5
end if
