If you run a recent version of the Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Opera you’ll see a new game in the menus: Asteroids. This is a clone of the classic arcade game of the same name. It uses the brand new HTML5 <canvas> tag to draw the graphics which unfortunately makes it incompatible with Internet Explorer (6, 7 and 8). We’re hopeful that IE 9.0 will be compatible when it comes out. We’ll see…

The game isn’t completely done yet. We’d still like to add the flying saucer, hyperspace and high scores. And maybe even some tasteful sounds. But we think that even in its current state it’s still pretty fun. Anyway, if you have a supported browser, go try it out and let us know what you think.
