Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Looks like Asteroids meets Yars Revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 More Yars than Asteroids... I dont actually see ANY Asteroids in there, but a 6 year old mind is an amazing thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Maybe a little Bosconian for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Had to look that one up... Very cool. He said the green alien is the boss alien and it sends the UFOs out to kill you... You have to break through the 'asteroid' to get to the boss alien. Pretty inventive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senior_falcon Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I think Rasmus is gonna have some competition in the not very distant future!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 As a note: he is doing all these in Magellan, but he actually started coding this one. Here's what he has so far 100 CALL CLEAR 101 CALL SCREEN(2) 102 CALL ALIENS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I recommend against CALL ALIENS. We are not yet ready to welcome our alien overlords. I mean, look at the state of the place! We really could tidy up a bit. Others I recommend against: CALL BEETLEJUICECALL CANDYMAN (will crash on the third call)CALL EXGF (just an outright bad idea) Definitely worthwhile: CALL GHOSTBUSTERSCALL MEMRTIBBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 And under no circumstances: CALL COMMODORE Hell no! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 I edited his code... 102 CALL 8675309 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 CALL BEETLEJUICE is fine as long as you call it fewer than three times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Actually, if you can fly all the way around the "asteroid" it's a little like Star Castle but with only one shield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 That is interesting too. We need to find some time to finish the space shooter and the monster game... Once that is done, Air-Sea Battle and then maybe this one... He is keeping me on my toes and I have ZERO computer time these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Ever finish The Legend of what's his name? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hit a FILE I/O snag in relation to saving/loading. Put me off course a bit and I have shelved it for a month or two while I rethink and reconsider my strategy. LoBR is a long term project, these others can be banged out pretty quickly if I can ever get some free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
