Keith Bauer Astro 1.1

Astro is a simple arcade game where you have to dodge asteroids to stay alive.
As the number and speed of the asteroids increases, however, that may not be as easy as it sounds.

Plot (such as it is)
You are an alien UFO pilot, and for some reason unknown to you, your spaceship has been dumped in the middle of an asteroid belt. You must dodge the asteroids in a vain attempt to escape.

Objects
There are three kinds of object in the game. Your spaceship is roundish and red, and begins at the bottom of the screen. Asteroids are greyish and spherical. They fall from the top of the screen. Jewels are small and green. If you pick up a jewel (by running it over) you get an extra life.

Scoring
You get one point each time an asteroid falls off the bottom of the screen (but only if youre alive at the time!)

Controls
From the main menu screen, you can use P or Q to play or quit, respectively. You can also click the buttons. If you get a new highscore, the P and Q shortcuts will be disabled while you type in your name. In the game, use the arrow keys to move your spaceship round the screen. You can press space to pause.
