JS Asteroids Game Part 4 (Shooting Lasers and Asteroid Destruction)

In the fourth part of this JavaScript Asteroids Game tutorial series, we allow the player to press the space bar to shoot a laser from the nose of the ship! As per the original game, the asteroids split in two until they become small enough to break apart completely. We also add a cool blast radius effect when the laser strikes an asteroid!

If you liked the original 1979 Atari game, Asteroids, go ahead and download the code below and create your own cool web-browser game!
