We have left some code for "pods" dormant [assets here] and code in the [pre_declutter_main] branch, it was going to be a feature that little escape pods pop out of the planet and that you could pick them up and drop them at a safe zone to evacuate the planet, but we have little interest investing time in that direction now.

How to play

You have to fly around in your UFO, preferably with friends, crashing into approaching asteroids to stop them from hitting the planet surface.

First Tier: The longer you can prevent the first hit on the planet.
Second Tier: The longer you can prevent the planet from being annihilated!
Third Tier: How many asteroids did you and your friends collectively destroy?

Just make sure you all start on the same epoch! The first person to create the epoch sets the number of approaching asteroids in each wave.

Make/Compile

Standalone Binary

sudo apt install libglfw3 libglfw3-dev
git clone https://github.com/mrbid/AstroImpact
cd AstroImpact
make
./bin/fat

Installer (.deb)

sudo apt install libglfw3 libglfw3-dev
git clone https://github.com/mrbid/AstroImpact
cd AstroImpact
make deb
sudo dpkg -i bin/fat.deb

Key/Mouse Mappings

Use W,A,S,D,Q,E,SPACE & LEFT SHIFT to move around.
L-CTRL / Right Click to Brake.
L-ALT / Mouse 3/4 Click to Instant Brake.
R = Toggle auto-tilt/roll around planet.
Q+E to stop rolling.
Escape / Left Click to free mouse focus.
F = FPS to console.

Config File

(fat.cfg) or (.config/fat.cfg) or (~/.config/fat.cfg)

NUM_ASTEROIDS 1337
MSAA 16
AUTOROLL 1
CENTER_WINDOW 1
CONTROLS 0
LOOKSENS 10
ROLLSENS 10

The CONTROLS setting in the config file allows you to swap between roll and yaw for mouse x:l=>r.

Hosting a server

Make sure you have Network Time Protocol (NTP) enabled, the game relies on syncing epoches between machines for many aspects of networking.

Make sure you have UDP port 8086 forwarded from your router.

To connect to a custom server the Launcher can be used, but it's probably best to use the deb package which comes bundled with the launcher.

You can also connect to a custom server via the argv parameters when launching the game from the console:

Argv: <start epoch> <server host/ip> <num asteroids> <msaa 0-16> <autoroll 0-1> <center window 0-1> <control-type 0-1> <mouse sensitivity (0.001+)> <roll sensitivity (0.001+)>

e.g: astroimpact 1713589505 192.168.0.1
