Asteroid Dodger: Collision Detection Add AABB and polygon collision detection, an HP bar with invincibility frames, and a complete game over loop to your Rust asteroid dodger.
Rustmacroquadgame dev
Asteroid Dodger: Integration Testing Test game logic without opening a window — shop purchases, power-up effects, state transitions, and weapon behavior.
Rusttestingintegration
Asteroid Dodger: Large Map and Minimap Expand the game world beyond the screen with a camera system and add a corner minimap radar to your Rust asteroid dodger.

Asteroid Dodger: Lifetimes and References Understand Rust lifetimes through the lens of your game's physics code — why split_at_mut works, when you need lifetime annotations, and when you don't.

Asteroid Dodger: Menu, Power-ups, and Shop Add a title screen, rebindable controls, collectible power-ups, and a between-rounds shop to your Rust asteroid dodger.
Rustmacroquadgame dev
Asteroid Dodger: Physics Add elastic collision physics with mass-based impulses for asteroid-asteroid and ship-asteroid bouncing, plus broad-phase AABB optimization.
Rustmacroquadgame dev
Asteroid Dodger: Project Structure Organize a growing Rust project — group modules into directories, control visibility with pub(crate), and learn when a workspace makes sense.

Asteroid Dodger: Shooting and Destruction Add bullets, hit detection, and asteroid splitting to your Rust asteroid dodger — shoot asteroids apart and watch fragments scatter.
Rustmacroquadgame dev
Asteroid Dodger: Sound and Particle Effects Add procedural audio and a particle system to your Rust asteroid dodger — explosions, damage flashes, and thrust sounds with no external assets.
Rustmacroquadgame dev
Asteroid Dodger: Traits and Generics Extract shared behavior into traits and write generic functions — refactoring your asteroid dodger to use Rust's polymorphism.
