A faithful recreation of the classic Asteroids arcade game in Java, built with a custom game loop, real-time collision detection, and object-oriented design.
- Control a spaceship and destroy asteroids before they hit you
- Asteroids split into smaller pieces when shot
- Game speed increases progressively
- Score tracking and lives system
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Language | Java 21 |
| Rendering | JavaFX / Java2D |
| Architecture | OOP — each entity is its own class |
| Build | Maven |
Each game entity is an independent object responsible for its own state and rendering:
GameLoop
├── Spaceship → player movement, rotation, shooting
├── Asteroid[] → movement, size variants, split logic
├── Bullet[] → trajectory, lifetime, collision
└── CollisionManager → detects hits between all entities
The game loop runs on a fixed timestep, separating update logic from rendering — which keeps physics consistent regardless of frame rate.
Requirements: Java 21+, Maven 3.8+
