Chapter 5. Asteroid Belt Assault – Special Effects

As it stands, the Asteroid Belt Assault game allows the player to move around and fire shots in an animated asteroid field with enemy ships that fly in patterns across the screen. For the most part though, there is no game structure in place yet.

In this chapter, we will look at the following:

• Creating particles and particle-based special effects

• Handling collisions between game objects

• Playing sound effects

• Completing the game's structure
