How the idea for the game came about

The idea for the game came to me during a university class (since this is a project for a class), where the main challenge was to create a cone in front of the player that could attract objects. Since the project involved creative freedom, I was thinking of several games that would address that challenge, but I let my imagination run wild and asked myself, "What would happen if something like Lethal Company existed in the 80s?" I remembered Asteroids, but instead of just destroying asteroids, you had to destroy them to collect meteors and transport them somewhere. That's how the idea for this project came about.

See how I would do it

I thought about several options on how to do it, since it would be similar to Asteroids I would have to apply new mechanics to the game, so I went to buy a coffee, sat down in front of the computer and was in this position for half an hour:

Until I came up with new mechanics to include in the game to make it different from the classic game.

Here are the schematics I made to guide me and demonstrate to my teacher the ideas I came up with for this project, and to begin developing it over the next few days. The only development I did was the movement and firing of the ship.
