Starship

Infinite 3D Asteroids-like game. The player controls a ship that infinitely moves forward dodging & shooting asteroids. The game ends when the ship is hit.

Final project for the Fundamentals of Computer Graphics subject of the University of Buenos Aires. The game is run by a minimal ad-hoc engine written in Javascript and leveraging WebGL.

Co-developed with Remruts.
