Why not keep the view on the phone as a windowed view of the total field that moves with you as you approach the edges of the screen (think old school Defender game, but in all directions)?

A smaller thumbnail radar view of the entire field could be overlayed to show the position of all the other players (no need to render the asteroids in this radar view).

Maybe a behind-the-ship view would work better, and maybe more regular Asteroids physics.

This reminds me of Pac-Man Vs., which was one of those Gamecube + GBA games. The guy controlling Pac-Man played on the screen with the traditional overhead view. The ghost players used their GBAs and played in a first-person view. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man_Vs.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/android-asteroids-multiplayer-androideroids-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/android-asteroids-multiplayer-androideroids-video/
I really like the idea of more than one player and being able to be a spectator to a battle. That part is really cool.
