In this update to my clone of the original Asteroids (1979) - the player now can fracture an asteroid with a projectile,, which results in the halving of it into two separate pieces moving in random directions.

With scoring of big asteroids being 20 points, medium at 50 points, and small ones at 100 points implemented...

I've noticed I need to resolve these outstanding issues:

In the original Asteroids - the projectile impact position results in fracturing of the asteroid that maintains some of the momentum forces of that asteroid. and the projectile's location. For instance, if a big asteroid is heading right at me and I take aim at it, I can fully expect two medium sized halves to continue a general trajectory towards me.

As it stands now, my implementation for that same example would result in two medium sized halves moving in a random direction after impact.

Clearly, that would need fixed...
