Title: Feature: Create "Asteroid Belt" Arcade Game

Description:

Problem/Goal:
To introduce a different style of gameplay, this ticket is for a game inspired by Asteroids. The player will pilot a spaceship in a zero-gravity, screen-wrapping environment, with the goal of destroying asteroids that fragment into smaller, faster pieces.

Proposed Solution/Approach:
We will use Phaser and its Arcade Physics engine to handle the spaceship's momentum-based movement (thrust and rotation) and the screen-wrapping effect. The game will feature vector-style graphics to stay true to the original's aesthetic. Player stats will be saved locally.

Acceptance Criteria:

• The player can control a spaceship with rotation and forward thrust mechanics.
• The game world wraps around the screen (e.g., exiting on the right edge causes the ship to reappear on the left).
• The player can fire projectiles from the spaceship.
• Large asteroids are procedurally generated and drift across the screen.
• When shot, large asteroids break into two or more smaller, faster-moving asteroids.
• The smallest asteroids are completely destroyed when shot.
• The following stats are successfully tracked and stored in the user's local storage: highScore, asteroidsDestroyed, shipsLost.

Priority (Optional):

Medium - Offers great gameplay variety, but is slightly more complex than the other foundational titles.
