About two weeks ago I decided I wanted to make a Centipede clone for the contest. Centipede is a classic Atari game.
Sadly enough I only could spend a couple of hours on it, so it did not get done in time.

Here is what I have until now:


As you can see there are still many things lacking:
- You don't die when hit (or win)
- No spiders, no fleas and no scorpions
- graphics aren't so good yet
- Controls need improvement.

But I intend to finish it, so it's not too bad

Not bad, not bad.

How do you control your cannon by the way? Using directional buttons or swiping the touchpad like a trackball?
Edit: You know you have a small area at the bottom to move around freely in all directions, don't you?

Yeah, looks very good even though it's not finished.

It looks awesome, albeit there's something I don't get. What 'head' do you control when the centipede is split in more than one piece?

Good job, nonetheless!

That's correct. Centipede is kind of like the old space invaders. You control the cannon, and are trying to kill the centipede before it comes down and kills you.

I think you control the canon, not the centipede.

Oooh, that explains a lot thanks
