Haha! I forgot about Java2d... Yeah, that would work just fine. No, Clojure does not support remote agents. But agents can really help in a system like this to express objects as distinct entities. That is, you have one object per item on the screen, and then each object basically can "live" on its own:
(send entity update-time timespan) (send asteroid do-split) etc. Actually, this really isn't too long of a project, at least the asteroids part isn't.
