GJ to both of you. mavrick and snake.

Jabba_The_Hunt · July 2004

you have to tell me how you got that sort of frame rate in vb?

CForrester · July 2004

<b>Very</b> nice! I noticed a small bug, though. When a shield is complete destroyed, you still can't shoot through where it used to be.

999Hydralisk · July 2004

Very cool indeed. Darn those gorges and their bile!!! Make it realistic and acid rocket doesnt hurt shield <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> jk lol. I am currently learning VB so i hope to produce things like this.

SnakeUb · July 2004

Thanks for your replies,

CForrester, i can shoot through where shields used to be does this heppen all the time or just now and then?

Maverick102, it took me about a day to make it although i had allready programmed the engine for my A-level coursework which took me a couple of weeks to make and figure out how to make.

if anyones interested in seein that it can be found <a href='http://snakemaps.megazones.net/notmaps/AlienInvaders_Final.zip' target='_blank'>HERE</a>

I noticed something, the onos hit box is rather large in this game, been times where I would just knick the fade's hitbox as it was traveling into the bullet and get the onos as well. Also, the lerk hitbox is bugged, I can't shoot it's wings. I can only shoot the turkey. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

I like yours ^_^

PS: VB6 or VB.NET?

SnakeUb · July 2004

VB5 i havnt got vb6 yet <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />

ive finally found a bit of code to do sound that works <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

sofar thers teh shotgun fire sound when u fire, a richoceting sound when u ,miss and the ns lose sound when u gt game over,

im gunna add more sounds and and a highscore thingy across teh top of teh screen and release 1.01 hopefully 2moro nite bt im going bed now its 12:10 am and i have work in 9 hours

oh if i do multiple releases im gunna do (1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 start on 1.1 then release 2.0 , start on 2.1 then release 3.0) notice a pattern <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

i really need to learn java hopefully i'll get tought it next year at uni

SnakeUb · July 2004

Version 1.01 done

Iv added some sound effects and an egg that frly acros teh top of teh screen like in the original alien invaders, the only problem is that with the code i'm using i cant play more than one sound at a time (when another sound starts other sound stops) which mas meant i have had to limit the number of effects so ther is no noise when aliens move, when aliens fire our when the bases take a hit.

constructive crit welcomed as usual and if a visualbasic pro know of a way for me to play multiple sounds at once in visual basic 5 then plz pm me.

oh and you can get teh game <a href='http://snakemaps.megazones.net/notmaps/NSInvaders1.01.zip' target='_blank'>HERE!</a> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

IBT · July 2004

ideas you should do.
make fades fatter.
let sounds overlap "how did i get *BANG*"

an if-you-want-to idea.
change the lives thing around for this one.
my idea is that diffrent ailens shoot out diff stuff and do diff dmg.
skulk----green"bullet"-----------------------10dmg
gorge----spit---------------------------------20dmg
lerk------white thing you use already------30dmg
fade-----acid rocket------------------------40dmg
onos-----stomp------------------------------50dmg
start with 3 lives and every 5 lvls you get a life.
