Geodesic Asteroids (Lite)

The classic arcade game with correct physics!

Playing in a curved 2D space things do not go in a straight line!

Geodesic asteroids is played on the surface of a torus. A game where flying off the top edge brings you to the bottom edge and likewise with left/right means the space is a torus (a donut). The paths objects take in this curved space are not the straight lines of the classic arcade game. They now follow the correct geodesic paths!

The game allows you to play on the surface of a 3D torus or on a 2D map view of the space.

The game contains a brief demonstration the idea of geodesics and motions in curved spaces and provides links to those who wish to delve into more detail. Show More
