Quick App: Presteroids 9
by Dieter Bohn Mon, 28 Dec 2009 8:45 pm EST
I wanted to point out a nice little app that we approved earlier today in our Homebrew App Gallery: Presteroids. It comes to us by way of kayahr, who humbly describes it as "an early alpha version." I humbly describe it as a fun and somewhat addictive asteroids app that I completely stink at playing.
If this is the 'early alpha,' I can't wait to see what the Beta will look like. Best of all for you potential coders, kayahr is releasing it under the GPL v3 Open Source license, which means you're free to dig in, learn from, and use the code (under the same license).
Never tried Homebrew apps before? Here's how.

looks good keep up the good work....we the palm family thank you
+1 here!! Been doing homebrew apps since the 'rooting' days!
yearns for a joystick control for that
Popped this on from preware and its pretty good for first release :)
Wow! Fantastic graphics and physics!!!! Even the little details like having a quick reverse thrust after a burn. Great job! Can't wait for sound!
Unfortunately, I am one of those people who have a horrible time with using the keyboard on games. GOD I wish Palm had put a 5way nav instead of that stupid, mostly useless "center" button.
I can't be the only one who read this as PreSteroids. :)
No- I admit that I read it that way at first, also :)
Asteroids was one of only two video games I was ever even remotely good at, but that was with the wire ball. So far I pretty much suck at this one, but I am having a blast playing it! Thanks you very, very much.
Now for Pong and Pacman! Keep
