Stellar Quest Out of Control: how I shot 100 asteroids with fewer than 300 bytes of WebAssembly

Stellar (the organization behind the Stellar Lumen cryptocurrency) organizes programming competitions, called "Stellar Quests". From February 15th to March 1st 2023, the competition revolved around a game called “Asteroids”, where you control a spaceship that moves through galaxies containing fuel pods and asteroids. To win, you need to shoot 100 asteroids without running out of fuel. The full instructions of this game are available on the official website.

This stellar quest had three categories: Fast (first submitted solution), Cheap (most efficient solution), and Out of Control (smallest solution). Read how I found a solution of fewer than 300 bytes of WebAssembly (WASM) code on my blog
