The asteroid spawner resource contains only a timer to control the spawn rate. I'd like it to be able to be reconfigured for different spawn rates and distributions. I could have varying difficulty, or different "levels" of sorts -- like an "asteroid ring" where most things come in from one side and exit the other, rather than totally random.

Ideas:

  • bias the side on which asteroids spawn (full random, left-to-right, etc)
  • asteroid size distributions
  • temporal spawn rate density (fast for 1 minute, slow for the next, fast again, etc)
  • asteroid target radius
  • moving asteroid target

The line-wrapping (on my display. oop) made it look like the title was "Configurables in Resource", followed by an unrelated tag/marker/other garbage. Ordering the words this way conveys the same info but doesn't have that UI problem.
