You can see an updated explanation of this game and it’s files in my portfolio.
Rotation is a simple flash game I created as a piece of coursework in my first term at university. The task set was to create a game where players would defend themselves against attacking aliens, aided by destructible shields. Rather than opt for a space invaders type game, I wanted to experiment with circular motion and trigonometry.
The result was Rotation, a game in which you control 3 ships orbiting the planet Earth, which you must defend from waves of attacking enemies. You can play it online or download the executable. You will need Flash 7 or later to play this game – you can get the plugin here. You may notice a few bugs in this game, however since the aim of this task was to gain a simple understanding of how games are made improving and fixing it is now not a priority.
