Clone Invaders
-----------------------------------
well last night after watching fry play a huge version of clone invaders on futurama, i decided i wanted to make it... so i did, i spent two hours on it, got the basic idea then spent another hour on it today fine tuning. you'll need a pretty quick computer if you want this to run anywhere close to smooth, and as you go since the enemies slowly disappear, it gets smoother. I included the source code in the zip file too, but dont make fun of my sloppy code please. well here it is.


controls: up arrow is to shoot.... and if you cant figure out howta move you're too stupid to be here

Change line 2 too

setscreen ("graphics:600;600;nobuttonbar,offscreenonly")

and line 127 (after the delay) to;

View.Update

Otherwise very good. All you have to do is add rems ^^;

View.Update

-----------------------------------
thanks for your input on my code heres and update using what you gave me, a beep so its more like the original dos version, and levels, if anyone can beat level 3 let me know, take a screen shot , make it a jpg and send it to sk8_an_rock_4_life@hotmail.com, cause id really like to see if anyone can beat it. O and i entered remarks into the code.

Well someone could just edit the picture to say "Hey I beat level 3!"

Put a special ending in 3 that isn't in the .t, only in the .exe so that they don't know what it looks like.

Very nice game, but I don't think level 3 is possible with that speed of shooting.  I tried increasing the rate, but I just messed up the code :)  the bullets disappear in the middle of the screen.  They are outside the array?  or what?  Oh, and the beep doesn't sound for me for some weird reason :?, only when I'm exiting the program???

Anyways, very well made!

i think maybe you just got the arrays confused gandalf my speed thing is really messed up and switches itself around a few times, but yea, if you want to slow it down you actually could raise the number in one of the if statements change:
if faster>14 
to something higher like "if faster>20" then you geta few extra seconds each time before they move down
