Kiloroid

Kiloroid is a 1K version of Asteroids for the Amstracd CPC 464/664/6128/464+ or 6128+.
Should run on any CPC emulator, but the preferred Windows emulator is WinAPE (http://winape.emuunlim.com).
Shoot the Asteroids and they split into two smaller halves. If you clear all the
asteroids you move onto the next level where the asteroids are moving faster.
Unfortunately duw to the 1K memory limitation, there's no score, and you only get
one life, so if you get hit by an asteroid, it's back to the start of level 1.
I'm planning a full version in about 1.5K with score, lives, level display and
increasing numbers of asteroids with some more efficient screen address calculation
routines (which is what slows the game down if you fire continuosly with lots of
asteroids around).
To start the game, insert the disc image in Drive A:, then type:
run "disc"
The keys are:
Z - Rotate Left
X - Rotate Right
RETURN - Fire
SHIFT - Thrust
