I've been mucking about with bitmaps - obviously, the poor old NGPC was never really built for this, but I'm having fun trying to actually do something that isn't purely cosmetic with the old bitmap functions.
There's no actual game yet - just a playground with a bunch of asteroids, a Qix and a rotating "sprite" that moves in a classic turn-left/right and thrust kind of fashion, but thought that you lot might enjoy seeing it.
I'm not really sure where I'm going with it - I think I could probably turn this into a reasonable Asteroids clone relatively quickly but for now I'm just playing with different bitmap effects.

edit: removed the velocity limiter on thrust as that wasn't working.
