Introducing WikiAsteroids, a classic arcade asteroids game powered by real-time #Wikipedia edits! ☄️

asteroids.wiki/

Each edit to an article on Wikipedia spawns an asteroid. The larger the edit, the larger the asteroid (and the more shots it takes to destroy). A newly created article spawns an extra life, while a newly registered user spawns a powerup.

A screenshot from 'WikiAsteroids,' a browser-based game inspired by the classic Asteroids arcade game. The title 'WikiAsteroids' is displayed at the top in bold, futuristic font. The game screen has a black background with a green triangular spaceship. Floating around are asteroids with article titles such as 'Cyclura rileyi,' 'Mean Girls,' 'Private inventory,' and 'Ken (unit),' along with a powerup labeled 'User:WikiEditor.'
