The controls are very difficult to put onto the Nspire in a way that feels nice. Geometry Wars performed it well on the 84, but Lua can't do that stuff (multiple keypresses, pressing and holding). I am considering balancing some of the moving values to make it feel more natural.
I tried the game and it's very nice A suggestion: what about keeping the player moving, like in asteroids ? That might make it more fun. Also, I think the AI get's too smart too fast .. but that might be fun
Thanks! The Asteroids idea is actually very good... Maybe I'll throw in a few asteroids too! Probably will add a shop of some sort.
As for the AI, the speed increases logarithmically with the level... There are only two types of AI. The red will head directly to you, while the green will stay on the X and Y axis and chase you.
Yay for a last minute procrastination entry into the contest! I worked on this concept when the contest was announced, nailing down the basics of the game, but most of the work I did today! The main purpose for this entry is that I have completed the goal of entering a contest even if I don't win. Hopefully participation will give me motivation in later times.
More modifications/improvement of the game will be implemented after the contest. This is probably the best of the three (unreleased) shooting games I have made.
Oh yeah, if I need to mention it, the AI is the enemies.
P.S. The title is based of a Wii homebrew game "They Do Not Die." My brother and I came up with it.
Yes I have done that, but because Jim Bauwen's XML2Lua no longer will convert, I cannot get the source. I think the XML file is a bit weird because last time I could open the XML file with Internet Explorer and because it starts out with something weird.
I have taken the time to hand type one of the sources into the computer, but for future contests and possibly bigger files, I'd still like a way to do it without TINCS.
I'm having some problems with the XML file. It won't even display as before in Internet Explorer. Now the XML2Lua thing doesn't give me any output either.

So I got a bomb right after I used it.
