Asteroids Widget

Description

Turn your site into the game of Asteroids. Click to start and you can destroy
the contents of your webpage by flying around and shooting them. Check out
Electric Tree House (http://electrictreehouse.com/) (bottom of the right sidebar)
to try it out yourself. The plugin is also highly customizable allowing you to add
a description and/or image as well as controlling which pages the Asteroids widget
appears on. Give it a try and I guarantee you will be impressed. The Widget
implements a javascript by Erik Rothoff Andersson (http://erkie.github.com/),
based on the classic game, Asteroids.

Just tried this on a new install. It would be good to tell folks what buttons do what, but it still works like a charm. I really enjoyed destroying my site with this.
