What started out as a Direct3D learning experience evolved into a simple space shooter inspired by the classic 1980 arcade game called Rip-Off.

Your goal is to protect the 10 fuel pods from the pirate ships. You are given unlimited lives to accomplish your mission but once all 10 pods are gone the game is over. To help you accomplish your goal you are given 3 weapons:

The Laser Cannon which is a rapid fire pulse laser (your primary weapon)

The Nuke which destroys all pirate ships within a certain radius

And finally Heat Seeking Missiles with unlimited range
