cool :)

if one want to use keyboard instead of buttons the modification is as follows:

670 PRINT "press ANY key"
680 DO WHILE (INKEY$ = ""): LOOP
1115 KEY$ = INKEY$
1120 IF (ASC(KEY$) = 130) THEN
1180 IF (ASC(KEY$) = 131) THEN
1240 IF (ASC(KEY$) = 32) AND (Fire = 0) THEN

so you can go left and right with the PS2 keyboard left and right arrow and fire with the Spacebar

@ Olimex , they was some change in the latest version.

Now the correct line for play with Kb are :

1130 IF (ASC(KEY$) = 130) THEN
1190 IF (ASC(KEY$) = 131) THEN
1250 IF (ASC(KEY$) = 32) AND (Fire = 0) THEN
...
6100 DO WHILE (INKEY$ = "")
...
6800 LOOP

if you just use the KB then you can delete this too :

610 'Setting the joystick pins
620 'PIN 13 = LEFT
630 SETPIN 13,2
640 'PIN 14 = RIGHT
650 SETPIN 14,2
660 'PIN 15 = Fire Button 1
670 SETPIN 15,2

Cheer.

Ive been writing software for nearly 30 years for all sorts of platforms and all sorts of tasks, but never games.

If you offered me $1,000,000 I wouldnt know where to start to achieve that.

Well done!

Great game
In the early 1980's I was a technician/programmer for TAITO Australia
and our number 1 game was the Original "Space Invader" machine.
I have loved the game since then.
C'est Magnifique!
I have linked to it on my Maximite site.

Wow, great implementation.. well done Darthmite

Could you just make it easy and have a variable that lets us play with keyboard or joystick.

like

135 Keyb= 0 ' Set to 1 to use a keyboard

then have your code work it out. 2 different checking routines, uses one or the other.

also I noted that the invader on the start screen comes out 1 line above where the upside down 'Y' in PLAY is. This is intentional? If so ignore my fix..

if not I changed the code on lines

6200 Line (px1 , 38) - (px2 , 49) , 0 , BF
6210 pause 5
6220 locate AnimX , 38 : print CHR$(Spr);

Changed 38 to 50 and 49 to 61

also on lines

6370 & 6390 , 6490 , 6520 & 6540, 6680 & 6700 and 6760

I wrote a Font editor, Called it 'MaxiFont' that I have sent to Geoff, for the library. So if you want, you can pick my programming errors..

Link to MaxiFont http://members.iinet.net.au/~dpwyatt/MAXIFONT.zip

I too created an invade.fnt

As I said before, great implementation, well done

Keep plugging away, it is fun learning
But can be expensive (if you keep blowing things up).

Heya Wombat,

Do you have see this one ? :
Animite

for the change on the line 6200 to 6750 it can be that we
get a difference between Composite PAL and VGA.
Here i use the PAL connection to the TV.
For the variable to use the KB , just do it , it's free to all to modify
and made it better.

Cheers.

Darth.

I haven't actually seen this editor before, but it looks awesome.

My font editor is written on the maximite for the maximite..

Screen 1

screen 2

But yours looks better( color )

Hasn't been tested on a composite display....

Bah ! ,
It just look better because it's done on windows ,
Your have give you more fun to write because it's directly in MM Basic

I never have write any game on windows but i want made allot on MM ...
In the next future i will probably add the VGA connector to my DIY maximite
so i can see if my soft work in all possible configuration.
Anyway your MaxiFont will be a good add-on in the MM Library

Cheers.

Super-Awesome font editors both. I really like it when Maximite tools and utilities are developed in MMBasic. Nice one! I'm really enjoying the new full-screen editor in V3.0 too - and the demise of line numbers is a reason to celebrate!

Cheers guys...

Hello

Today i have optimize the Invaders game code.
It's more readable now , and the game is faster too.
Now each level is harder with faster Invaders and
more of them are able to shoot when the next level
start.
I have found why it was different in start screen between composite
video and VGA.
That was just the 'Press fire to start' who was to low on screen and
then moved everything up ;)

So ... enough babbling ... here it is ...

I hope you will enjoy
