Asteroids-3D

Asteroids clone for 3DS with 3D environment and 3D support.

On these days, i tried to generate a simple fake-3D environment with lpp-3ds. Results are quite good so i decided to release it publicly so LUA developers could take this homebrew as example for GPU usage and 3D environment creation.

This is a first alpha so you may encounter several bugs (i listed the ones i found in Known issues). I decided to release this homebrew as it is now cause, starting from 2nd April i will have much less time to work on my homebrews.

Asteroids 3D is a "clone" of Asteroids but in a 3D environment so you have to survive as long as you can.

Controls:

L / R = Shoot
DPad / Circle Stick = Move Ship

Game is provided also of a pickups system. Currently implemented pickups are:

Laser - Give you possibility to continuos shoot by holding L or R trigger (autofire) for 5 seconds
Ship breakdown - You can't move or shoot for 5 seconds

Game is provided of a render switcher:

CPU rendering: More accurate but slower
GPU rendering: Less accurate but faster

Game supports stereoscopic 3D but using it cause asteroids disappear for GPU rendering and huge framedrops (both GPU and CPU rendering).

Known issues:

Collisions system needs to be improved
Stereoscopic 3D effect cause a huge framedrop making the game unplayable
GPU render fails to print correctly the ship in some angulation
GPU render fails to print asteroids if steroscopic 3D effect is enabled
Sometimes bottom screen flicks
3DS/CIA related only: Huge screens flickering issue

(As always, for CIA/3DS users, asteroids.lua and AsteroidsFiles folder must be put in SD root)
