Your space ship enters an asteroid belt, try to avoid
collisions!
wxAsteroids is a game demonstrating the wxHaskell GUI.
To run the game, you will need wxHaskell, see:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Download
If wxHaskell is installed, and you have cabal-install
on your system, give the folllowing command to install
wxAsteroids:
cabal install wxAsteroids
Another option is, to download the wxAsteroids tarball
from Hackage:
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/wxAsteroids
and unpack it; go to the directory with the game code
and enter the commands:
runhaskell Setup configure
runhaskell Setup build
runhaskell Setup install
You will get a message about the directory in which the
executable is installed; this directory must be in the
search path.
Give the following command to start the game:
wxAsteroids
Use the left and right cursor keys to move the ship sideways.
Ctrl-n creates a new window with a new Asteroids game.
Ctrl-p pauses/resumes the game.
To increase the speed of the space ship, press '+';
to slow down, press '-'.
