Improve graphics of everything on Bitfighter.

Right now, most objects is see through outline, being able to see stars behind the objects.

I have partly talked about improving graphics a while ago.
A whole new kind of bitfighter

I don't care so much about the 'stroids looking better (right now they stick with the retro theme in that they totally jack from the game Asteroids) as much as I care about there being explosions when you shoot them.

How can you improve perfection?

make it worse then put it back. it makes it seem like it got better.

Asteroid graphics cannot be improved, and will not be altered. They are not arbitrarily designed -- they are exact replicas of the original objects in the arcade game. (See the flash demo linked below, which I believe also accurately reproduces the original). Even the sounds come from the arcade game.

Bitfighter graphics come from a long and storied tradition of vector graphics arcade games, which, sadly, are no longer being created.

This is interesting. Even the resource items and test items came from past vector games? What about the bursts, triple shots, turrets, force fields, phasers, bouncers, and the ships?
It seems that a limited selective amount of graphics of bitfighter came from past vector games.

I still want some kind of explosion. Even if it's just little white lines shooting off of the 'stroid when it breaks.

^Also, more various styles of asteroids. The rocks look identical sometimes.

Actually, weapons, items, test items and ships are all from Zap only.

The only things to come from real arcade games are the asteroids, and some of the conceptual design of the core (though the details are very much our own).

Personally, I enjoy the rudimentary design of asteroids. I think it's a little tribute to the classic game that inspired (?) our predecessor.

Bitfighter needs hats. Hats make everything more appealing.
