Homescreen Invaders for the TI 83
« on: September 21, 2011, 09:53:39 pm »
This is a Space invaders homescreen game I am first making for ztrumpet's homescreen game pack which is right here, and then I am going to finalize it and add extra features. Currently there is no release, but I will fix that soon.


                            ??????????????????????
Player movement engine:     ?????????????????????? 100%
Player firing engine:       ???????????----------? 50%
Enemy Movement engine:      ??????---------------? about 25%
Enemy Firing engine:        ?--------------------? 0%
Optimization:               ????????-------------? about 35%
Bonus features:             ?--------------------? 0%
                            ??????????????????????


I will work on it and post it once I find my cable.

I'm not worried about SOPA creating censorship, that will not stand for long. I'm worried that they'll succeed in stopping piracy!

Cool.  Good luck. :)

You know, I got to thinking about this, and I figured I'd mention Invaders, which was my best attempt at a Space Invaders style game.  It could be found in this update exclusively, because I considered my version too slow to be fun.  Here's to yours being better! ;D

So far mine is pretty damn fast but due to construction it is unplayable.

PROGRESS!!!
I have optimized the matrix rendering system with padwan and some others, and now, on my TI 83 + BE it displays the whole enemy fleet in less than a second.
Projection: 2-3 fps for final product.
It is going pretty well.

PROGRESS for my 201st post!!!!!!
This is more of an idea, that comes with a poll.
I have an idea that will make the game two or three times as fast, but will make the game a tiny bit less like space invaders.
Imagine space invaders, but upside down. (disp command)
Now imagine instead of the enemies moving left and right, they just move up slower.
Additionally, firing is faster and more frequent like a real space battle.
This would make the game so much faster, just as challenging, but  this much (    ) more different from space invaders, worth considering.
What do you think?
