Detritus OpenGL


Detritus is a fast-paced shoot-em-up strongly based on the old classic Asteroids. Replenish your shield with power-ups and gain new weapons. "Cleaners" appear periodically, so watch out! The keyboard controls should be self-explanatory.

Binaries have been compiled for Windows and OS X, but the code is cross-platform via OpenGL, OpenAL, and SDL, and I've tried to make a nice bundle/Makefile for linux.

Here's a silly video I made of the game so you can get a feel for it before downloading (or while downloading):

Wouldn't it be nifty to have a real quote here?—me

Changelog

  • 1.0.6 - remembered to commit modernizing os x compilation tweaks and pushed to github, not really a patch-level updated but whatever, I'm feeling my mortality - 2017-12-26
  • 1.0.5 - improved visibility and effects, a few minor logic bugs fixed, high scores now save in user directories, OS-specific "quit now" keys implemented - 2008-05-03
  • 1.0.4 - made a few compilation warnings go away and bundled for linux (removed some windows-specific code from GLTexture) - 2008-04-14
  • 1.0.3 - enemy bullets are now actually removed from collision detection after they "fade away" (they had just been removed at end-of-level--oops!); bug fixed in ship collision detection (had been only detecting "point" of ship, essentially). - 2008-04-11
  • 1.0.2 - stopped runtimecompressing the executable as that caused it to fail on some machines - 2008-04-10
