Dizz-Asteroids by MrBcx

[MrBcx]

I wrote this in BCX BASIC, translated it to "C", and created a Pelles IDE project
for all you non-BASIC folks because sometimes it just feels good to destroy asteroids.
It is not a clone of the original Asteroids but it is still a very playable and fun game.

Hi MrBcx,

Thanks, I managed to compile the code on Windows 11 2024 H2.

I've only made it to Level 41, so far. 

My twitchy fingers and slow reflexes do not lend themselves to stellar game play.
