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

https://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.'

WikiAsteroids is now a mini arcade cabinet! 👀🕹️

I put this together during SXSW for our Wikihaus (https://www.wiki.haus/). It's been great watching people rolling through and trying it out.

A custom-built mini arcade machine featuring the game 'WikiAsteroids'. The arcade has a retro-inspired design with a joystick and six colorful buttons. The screen displays the WikiAsteroids game, which resembles the classic Asteroids game but with Wikipedia elements. A pixelated 3D sign reading 'WikiAsteroids' is attached to the top of the arcade cabinet.

A smiling man in a backward white cap and glasses gives a thumbs-up next to the 'WikiAsteroids' mini arcade machine. The screen displays a 'Game Over' message with a score of 332.
