About


Well, this is my first game that I have programmed. It has taken me a while to learn all this stuff and I am still learning it. I started this project in September. I'm not really going for quality or an award winning game (as you can see), but I am just testing what I have learned.

Game news


11/28/98-- Collision detection has been implemented now!!! SPECIAL THANKS TO JOHN HUSS!!! So the game is now fully playable lacking some good things which I will now begin to work on. Like explosions, a menu, better graphics, 2 player support... whatever... but I feel all this will be a lot simpler now that I have gotten this far!!

11/21/98-- Well I added enemy movement.. but still no collision detection. The enemy movement is nothing special but keep in mind that I am a newbie and this is my first game. The enemy simply goes from left to right or right to left. It is chosen randomly. The y position of the ship is also randomly chosen. So for now the enemy movement is complete and I will start to work on collision detection. I have this whole next week off so work will begin soon and hopefully done soon!!

11/8/98-- FIXED BULLET PROBLEMS!!!! CHANGED GRAPHICS!!! Soon there will be enemies.. no collision detection yet.. but maybe next week there will be enemies. Thanks again Pelle!

11/1/98-- Ok well I finally got the ship to shoot. (with the help of my great friend) Now I have to work on the enemies movement. I think this will be the hardest stage of this program. I'm not sure when it will be completed but it will be completed.
