Story
After another ambitious movie from Hollywood, aliens decided to take action. To make it look like an accident, they decided to blow Earth with a comet. Yet it's not an easy task to hit it, even when firing from the inner parts of the Solar System...Origin
Once I was testing a library called Allegro and writing some random code with it. When I've got a few working snippets, I came out with an idea for a simple game.Features
- A graphical Allegro driven interface.
- Real world based physics, with astronomical data taken form Wikipedia.
- Runs on both Linux and Windows, tested.
- Source code available under the GPL.

Development state
v.1.0 - completeNo further work to be done on this software.
Instructions
The binaries are statically linked with data included, so nothing more is needed.Key bindings are displayed on the initial screen. Remember, that after firing all the comets it's your decision when to end the round.
Remarks
The game needs to run under 1024x768 resolution.Under Linux creates itself a scores file in home directory, under Windows it's current directory.
To compile it under Windows you need Dev-C++ and Allegro module (from the updates downloader).
