WikiAsteroids is the classic Asteroids game with a Wikipedia twist. Each edit to an article on Wikipedia spawns an asteroid.

• The larger the edit, the larger the asteroid (and the more shots it takes to destroy).
• Blue asteroids indicate additions, red asteroids indicate subtractions.
• When you destroy an asteroid, an article preview shows up in the sidebar with a link to the edit.
• At the bottom of this page, you can toggle edits from various language Wikipedias.

Edits are pulled via Wikimedia's EventStreams service.

This project was inspired by Listen to Wikipedia, a great project that lets you see and hear edits as they happen on Wikipedia.
