This shooter was an old community project which I have tided up a little. The code has been restructed, graphics animated, and sfx cleaned up

SOURCE CODE INCLUDED - Feel free to add to the code
It really needs the hi-score sorting out (non-functional at the moment)
Timing code is very basic and the screen is window only
The idea was to create a 'pocket' type shooter

CONTROLS
===============
CURSORS LEFT / RIGHT - Move ship
SPACE or CURSOR UP - Shoot

Thanks for sharing!

Btw: Aren't the aliens supposed to die instantly (= 1 hit kills)?


EOF(Posted 2009) [#3]
In this version the aliens have a certain amount of strength before they die (otherwise the levels tend to race by)

Having trouble downloading this. The zip is about 40K and says it's corrupted. Tried several times...

dl'd fine here.

strange i don't remember this as a community project before, but it's a fun little game... thanks

Jake,
It could be the SkyDrive service. It is generally horrible to use. For reference the file should be 1.81MB


Grisu(Posted 2009) [#7]
Had difficulties downloading it as well. Can E-Mail it to Grey if needed?!

It's a really old one, from around the time BlitzMax itself was first released: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=47006

thanks! Dabs. I will put it also in my downloads page along with other games with source I have there, if It's not a problem Jim.


Grey Alien(Posted 2009) [#12]
Skydrive still weird for me. Got from SyntaxBomb, thanks Dabz


Grey Alien(Posted 2009) [#13]
Neat works well. Perhaps some of the aliens could be 1-hitters just for that feeling of satisfaction.


Dabhand(Posted 2009) [#14]
@Jim... I've just validated your account at Syntaxbomb mate...

@Chaps.. No bother! ;)

EOF(Posted 2009) [#15]
Excellent .. Thanks Dabs!


Dabhand(Posted 2009) [#16]
No bother Jim, its Qubes birthday today, so he'll probably sort out your hosting tomorrow mate, if he's not too rough! :D

But he'll sort it for you! ;)
