My first game is done. I've got a few minor things to add but so far works ok on my machine. I wrote this as an exercise to learn Blitzmax and am always interested in comments on coding style and better ways to accomplish different programming tasks.

Enjoy!

To make it work on the PC, I added "littleendian::" before the high score file path.

There's a little bug in the same section -- if the high score file doesn't exist, you're still calling CloseFile, and as the file variable is Null, it crashes.

I also found the missile collision detection a bit too strict -- I'd do a simple distance check but allow a good few pixels leeway myself.

Nicely done though!

The screenshots look nice (I am one of the 99.99% of computer owners that do not own a MAC) :cD

Your link seems to be dead. Shame, I was looking forward to trying this.

The web site is down but I can still ftp in and view all the files. It also looks like I've got a few bugs to fix. For now I commented out the highscores since its still a work in progress and reuploaded the files to the server.

When the web site comes back up they'll be there.

Last night I signed up with six different hosting providers and went to a hundred more web providers to find a free one where I could my game. Guess you get what you pay for I also guess this is why it's called it a prerelease. Doh!

you don't get any web space with your ISP signup?

Eh, I'm not to happy with my isp, thinking about dropping them. Good news is the web site is back up.
