Well here is my first attempt at writing a game. I know its not very
good but you got to start somewhere in order to learn.Although the game
is not anywhere near being finished I thought I would put it out to get a
little feedback,.... please be gentle.
I will be adding some more opponents and a couple of extra levels of
play as well as a high scores screen.Please let me know what might be
good to add to the game, imagination is sometimes harder than the actual
coding.
The sprites,animation and art ( hey I know it sucks but I am not a artist)
were all made with a Paint program I wrote and am still writing which can
be used for just painting but also has animation studio built in with the
added advantage of saving your animations/sprites/graphics in GFA format
and will write the actual code (in GFA *.lst format) so that you can easily
add the sprites/art/animations to your GFA programs.
This game is the first program I have written using the paint program (its
a good way to find bugs too). When I do finish the paint/animation program
I will release the finished version of this game and the source code for
game with the paint program so that it will serve as an example of how GFA
sprites can be used.
About the game.
Basically shoot everything, The space ship that drops the
harpoon missile cannot be shot until it is on its way up.
Your ship has 3 laser bolts loaded at a time after firing the
third one it will take a second or two to load the three more,
just keep hitting the fire button.
IMPORTANT: all files for this game must be in the root directory
in drive A to run the program.
enjoy, Tom Batinich

PS. There is a bug in the music routines I have not yet figured out, after
the first time thru the song, the music will stop. This problem only exists
on machine with TOS older than version 1.4. BTW this program was written
entirely in GFA BASIC, it took me about 2 hours to code. The graphics
program that made the art and sprites is GFA code painter, a beta version
will be released in a about a month or so.
