IF YOU WANT TO ENTER...
There's still time! Just post in this thread that you intend to enter, what from the Zodiac serves as your inspiration, and be sure to include one of the Zodiac Attack 2013 logos in your entry.
Could you maybe have an unlimited supply of asteroids, and then make the particles gradually fade away after a while? That way you could limit the number of objects.
Incidentally, I'm considering entering something for this competition myself
Still plenty of time to create an entry for it, Sketchy. You have so many snippets of code accumulated that your entry is just waiting to be assembled and have artwork added to it.
And OMC, you're welcome to update your submission until the deadline, so if you want to make changes then just post notice of it in this thread.
Guys. I gotta secretly confess I wanted to join in and have been thinking of themes to do, but I've spent too much time thinking of what genre of game and what theme to do that time passed and it's already may 20, and I haven't started anything yet. All these screenshots are getting me exited to see more of you guys and I wanted to say good luck
Ok some I'm getting some kind of inspiration for a game....
So I am making a game.For the compotition.
So my zodiac inspiration is kinda just the zodiacs from the babylon one.
Kinda about zombies and strategy and how the zodiacs effect the zombies...and....I think I just made a new sub genre....

Mine is a straight-up Fire Emblem clone, with each unit type representing a sign of the zodiac, albeit with a *lot* of artistic license - for example, Taurus is a minotaur (half man, half bull).
Of course it will have the usual rock-paper-scissors dynamics - instead of the axe/sword/lance weapon triangle, I'll have a fire/water/earth/air square (so water based elements beat fire elements etc).
