Asteroids running in SketchUp 2025

Coming back from the DevCamp 2025, I started writing some Ruby code… and I ended up with this! Its a little rough around the edges, but performs pretty well for pure Ruby!

The sounds remind me of the Pac-Man video game.

My 2600 didn’t have a keyboard!

Hmm, Asteroids was an experience that didn’t transfer well to 2600! :slight_smile:

RandoFact: I worked a little bit with the author of Asteroids back in the day (Ed Logg) while working with Midway in Chicago!

FWIW, I’ve used the original .wav file sounds effects from the arcade game for the Sketchup version.

I pinged you! It says I am not missing any information but will not show Submit button.

I’m hoping you can spot the problem.. :slight_smile:

I’ve never tried uploading an extension before. Are any of the checkboxes not checked for you?

(I saw your email after I did this reply)

All are checked. It just keeps saying “Draft”.

I refreshed my LightUp Extension just to confirm I’m not going bonkers - all worked.

Its creating a new Extension that might be broken.

BTW it asks for Customer Support Info for the Extension like this:

Customer Support

Email or Webpage

But only accepts a web address :rofl:

I messaged Craig, hopefully he will have ideas, but probably won’t reply until your Monday morning. I usually see their first messages before I head to bed. If he has any ideas I will reply with them.

@AdamB I see that Sketchoids is approved. Do you have to do something to make it go live?
