Overview
    Hyperoid is the classic Asteroids arcade game. It was coded as a Windows 3.1 game by Edward Hutchins in 1991.
    As a small exercise, I recompiled it for the Win32 API in -96.
    Changes made: All outdated API calls changed. Also made it work against the Registry rather than with an INI file.

    I have added two new features:
    • The possibility to set a starting level (levels 1-12) and restart the game from there.
      This decides how many asteroids there will be and how strong and frequent the enemies are.
      (I was bored by having to play 6-7 levels of only a few asteroids before it got tricky. Of course, it still won't be like Quake...)
    • You can now also rescale the playing field, making every object (including your ship) smaller or bigger on the screen. This will also make the field relatively larger or smaller.
      You can thus have several slightly different games depending on which size you choose.
      Size varies from +8 (very large ship and consequently a minimal playing field) through to -8 (very small ship, huge playing field).
