It would need some tweaking to be an actual game. BTW - I only tested it on level 1. Got through it, and I think the next two levels add a bit more difficulty. It's been so long since I've played the real Space Invaders, on an Atari. I think there was a bonus for each time you blew up the mother ship, and probably a set number of points for each alien fighter destroyed. I believe the game also had three barriers you could hide behind, but they were progressively broken apart by alien missiles. I can't remember if they regenerated or not in subsequent levels.

Anyway, if I had to give this thing a name, I'd guess I'd call it, QB64 ASCII Invaders

Hmm... what if mother ship were an ascii witch or harvest man in the moon and the alien fighters ascii bats?

You know, to get into Halloween spirit and extra credit ;-))

Consider you guys lucky I didn't code ASCII fighters as: (_|_)

And no, that's not a pumpkin.

Edited: Added scoring with 50 per hit and 500 bonus for mother ship.

Edited: Some sound and visual effects added. You can replay without the intro. Just press the Alt key at Game Over message. To end, you have to click the "x" in the program window.

Hey I got through level 1 and almost all level 2 with the bats.

Do miss a "Pete" comment at start :-))

Could be colorized a little? Even some Black and White would make the screen pop.

Pete · « **Reply #65 on:** October 08, 2021, 04:05:46 pm »

@bplus Ah color? Orange and black are Halloween colors, so I'm not sure what color scheme you are thinking of.

I added a couple of other effects, see edit info.

I wish I was better with SOUND. I would love to have a thunder sound at the beginning, but without including an .ogg file. I added a short note playing routine if the player completes level 3 for the win.

The counter looks like I should truncate it a bit, or maybe try a progressive scoring algorithm. Something simple like 5o- pts per hit on level 1, 200 pts per hit on level 2, and 500 pts per hit on level 3. Same with mother ship. 1000, 2000, and 5000 pt bonus based on level. Any thoughts on scoring?

Pete

bplus · « **Reply #66 on:** October 08, 2021, 08:09:21 pm »

Yeah nice changes @Pete. Haven't played game enough for help with scoring, numbers you have look OK.

Pete · « **Reply #67 on:** October 08, 2021, 08:58:33 pm »

I found one big, and fixed it. Also added a progressive scoring system.

Cool game... Nicely done... Yep. The Alt key does need a little practice... I actually got through the first wave!! For me that's 'Woo Hoo'... lol

Pete · « **Reply #69 on:** October 08, 2021, 09:39:43 pm »

@johnno56 Careful about saying Woo Hoo around here! (Someone could abuse his post privileges).

TheBOB added his thunder sound effects. I did a quick update at QBF and added them: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/qbasic/viewtopic.php?p=213778#p213778

It made the intro sooooo much better. I left the initial afffect for anyone who does not include the .0gg files.

@Pete Great (Pumpkin) Opening!

24750 is a level and almost the 2nd. Was it Black and Red before? good choice.

@johnno56 Did you see this thread from this link to page 2? https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=4243.msg136169#msg136169

That's the one that also lead to my Elton John song parody. Quite logical!
