Although it looks simple, under the hood there's some pretty tricky code, and I'm really pleased shooting real holes in meshes! Check out the jaw-dropping DEV VIDEO!!!

Being an asteroid gemstone miner in Ursa Minor is really really hard work, what with zero G and only as much oxygen as you can carry!

Luckily, it has it perks; like the "vapouriser" cannon for getting at hard-to-reach gemstones embedded in the rock!

INSTRUCTIONS:::

Always make sure you can find your way back to the airlock where you started before you suffocate!

1. fly around using WASD and ARROW keys

2. fly into gemstones to collect them

3. use the vapouriser to liberate gemstones embedded in rock

4. diamonds = 1000 pts, rubies 500 and emeralds 200

5. keep an eye on how much oxygen you have left

6. you only get the one bottle of oxygen...

7. always track where the airlock was so you can get back in time!

...

17. PROFIT !!!

My first solo entry, using my own javascript webGL framework barebones.js.

The vapouriser uses csg.js (which I've made some performance tuning to; 3-5x faster generally). See the dev video or use the javascript console to look at the 'debug' object to get an idea of how computationally intensive shooting the vapouriser is!

I'm not musical I'm afraid. So sound effects from BFXR, and its my own server so I'm trying to keep the bandwidth down a bit.
