Asteroid BreAker . . .

in spAce!

steroids is a classic game developed in

1979 by Atari. Since then, many pro-

grammers have remade the game,

and it’s a great programming project to make in

Scratch, too. The player pilots a spaceship that

must destroy space asteroids while avoiding the

space pieces that break off . . . in space! (It’s a

well-known fact that adding “ . . . in space!” makes

everything more exciting.)
