In this video tutorial, we're going through the details of the Raylib Slo-Jam running at the tail end of 2023 and wrapping up on January 8th, 2024.

The theme for the gamejam is ASTEROIDS.

Perfect timing, so we'll go through a basic Asteroids type project in C using Raylib and go through the basics!

===---=== Game Plan ===---===
- load up all of our image and texture data
- load up all sound effects
- create an object that the player controls
- handle keyboard input to move the player
and fire a laser shot
- create a meteor object
- this will be independently updated in our game area
- we have 3 different sizes of meteors: large, med, small
- if a laser blast hits a meteor then it will vanish
- player's score will += 10
- the game is over when all the meteors are destroyed
- if the player or meteor travels off the side of the game area, it will warp to the other side of the game area
- if a laser blast travels off the side of the game area, it will vanish
