AsteroidsWasm
A proof-of-concept .NET Standard library for the classic Asteroids game, ported to multiple platforms including Blazor WebAssembly, Electron, and MAUI.
What is AsteroidsWasm?
AsteroidsWasm is a proof-of-concept project that ports the classic Asteroids arcade game to multiple platforms using a shared .NET Standard library. It demonstrates how a single codebase can be rendered across desktop frameworks (like WPF and WinForms), web via Blazor WebAssembly, and hybrid mobile/desktop via MAUI. The project solves the problem of evaluating .NET's cross-platform viability, especially for WebAssembly compilation.
.NET developers interested in cross-platform development, WebAssembly, or exploring UI rendering differences across Microsoft and third-party frameworks. It's also useful for educators demonstrating code reuse patterns.
Developers choose this project to see a concrete, working example of a non-trivial application running identically on over eight distinct platforms. Its value lies in the direct side-by-side comparison it enables, all from one shared game engine.
Overview
