Well I finally decided to release Space Invaders II, made entirely in Turing. Thanks goes out to JSBN, Catalyst, and Mazer for source code and additional help.

The game is being mirrored here: http://boelen.ca/James/progs/Space%20Invaders%20II.zip

It's a whopping 32 MBs, extract all the contents of the zip file into the same folder to run the exe properly.

I hope you all enjoy this game, as it features many interesting gameplay elements. For cheat codes and additional game support view the Patch Notes in readme.txt, The game also reveals other mysteries such as what is my real name?

This program was made to showcase the fact that Turing is far from useless.

[hype := true] JSBN and I are currently working on another game over the summer in turing that will remain under wraps until a working beta is released. Small amounts of information will be released later as we continue to hype up this game Very Happy . All I'll say right now is it's looking great! [hype := false]

I'd love to hear any feedback you have on Space Invaders II in this thread. Also if your're man enough to the challenge, see how far you can get on Hard difficulty without cheats Razz

Edit: btw, the space bar is select. I didn't bother putting it into the readme, whatever. Very Happy. Also, the performance of the game will vary based on your system specs.

Just a couple of suggestions

1. Make a background in the space invaders place. Wouldn't be too hard to add, and would look a lot better
2. Get a better picture for the invader(colour maybe?).
3. Make a procedure to clear the key buffer so that if you hold space you don't keep shooting
code:
proc ClearBuffer
   loop
      if hasch then
         getch(ch)
      else
         exit
      end if
   end loop
end ClearBuffer

4. When you win, instead of quitting, let the person play agian.
5. In your View.Set, add a title and nobuttonbar to get rid of the button bar ex
code:
View.Set ("graphics:600;600,title:Space Invaders II,nobuttonbar")


That's all that I can think of. Lookin good Smile (can't wait to see what you guys are makin)

In response:

suggestion 1 I had origionally and took out because things were getting hard to see.

about suggestion 2, nothing says "ALIENS" like cheap alien flying saucers (reffer to "Mars Attacks")

The thing with suggestion 3 is I have set up 2 sets of controllers, one using WASD and one using the arrow keys, using WASD remains true to the origional controls of Space Invaders where you would just tap the throddle to move and you'd keep moving. The arrow key set up allows you to move only when the key is actively being pressed. This allows the user to choose according to his gameplay comfort.

Suggestion 4 is what I wanted to do but reseting certain variables to default became a tiresome pain in the ass and I had a due date to meet so I just chose to quit.

Regarding suggestion 5, I chose to keep the button bar because it lets the user do some things that I didn't want to take away from them (mainly print output, pause, stop) setting the title though is a good idea and I'm shocked I didn't do that.

Thank you for your feedback darkness, I may patch the game depending on the amount of feedback I recieve.

Homer, I did use getch for menus Smile

WSAD is my reccomended setting.

damnit! Who said you could post the guest pass to my site?!?! now i have to change the god damn pass.

Edit: Acutally, instead, i've just changed the url to it. IF you still want it, PM me over msn: athrus@hotmail.com. If this kind of thing happens again, i will completely privatize the file (aka letting asok host it).
