Indie and Asteroids

My dad went to Texas the other day for…something. Anyway, he brought me back two things. The first thing is a blue, glass turtle; nothing super amazing. However, the second caught me completely by surprise. Last night when he got home, he gave me the turtle and said there was something else for me one the table downstairs. I was watching TV and didn’t really feel like getting up and going downstairs. Today I got up, took a shower, and sat down in front of my computer (never had breakfast or lunch), so it wasn’t until I went down to do the chores my mom assigned me that I noticed a large box at my place. The tag sticking out had some stuff written on it, but what caught my attention was “21/2 Brim.” So, I thought, “why did he buy me a hat?” I opened the box and to my surprise I found this inside:

Indy Hat

Also, I’ve been working on my Asteroids game and it’s coming along rather nicely. Here’s what it looks like at the moment. It’s still a work in progress. Here are the controls:

Movement:

forward – w

backward – s

strafe right – d

strafe left – a

brake – space

Steering:

up – down arrow (inverted axis)

down – up arrow

left – left arrow

right – right arrow

Other:

fire – shift

first person view (more over-the-shoulder) – 1

top down view – 2

zoom (in top down view) – scroll wheel

Well I think that’s everything. I hope to write some more of my story at some point. I have a bunch of ideas, though I’m lazy so…
