Spintz, you're missing d3dx9_30.dll from the installer, and sometimes the fire button gets stuck at the beginning of the level.. other than that, pretty cool. :)
whats the soundtrack?

Rambus- I had to shrink down the alien so you can't see her trio anymore.. it didn't fit with the new style :(
here she is in her full glory.

i'm just tidying mine up, adding bonuses and testing the levels and stuff... here's a sample pic for the meantime-

here's my attempt-

http://bitplane.net/dump/invaders.zip

Use Z, X and Space. Consecutive hits on the same wave increase your multiplier, miss a shot or hit your bases and it resets.
I recommend taking it slow at first and getting the bonuses in, so you're stocked up on extra lives and stuff for when it gets fast.

I thought it started off as an ok idea, but then turned into a great big horrible copy-n-paste-fest as I was too lazy to go back and change things, so please excuse the code.

bitplane's entry in cylindrical coordinates excited me the most, lol.

My humble entry:

Irrlicht Invaders

Download Win32 Binary: http://www.g0dsoft.net/invaders/invadersbin.zip
Download Source Code: http://www.g0dsoft.net/invaders/invaderssrc.zip

For the sake of time, some features were left out- I completed the entire game in 3 sittings. I hope you like it- and feel free to use any parts of the source code for- anything. I don't have time to clean most of it up- I'm sorry!

And yes, I made that crapy ship...

Update:
Fixed the streaming sound issue, and added a thrust particle system- The bin version reflects these changes but the src currently does not. When I'm positive this is the final version I will update the source.

Image

Edit: guess not- small glitch with the high score system will mean at least one more build before then end :(

@Rambus: Great quality in such a short time!

Wow Armen, you will have a tough job to decide a winner here. I will throw in a few dollars towards your prize if you want. PM me what you had in mind.

hmm Rambus it's crashing for me, but only in opengl and after I shoot 3 or 4 shots.
I don't think there's any prizes, being a challenge and not a competition, but I'll make sure all entries will star in their own wiki page!

Ah I think I found a weird memory leak with the shooting- Didnt bother my main system but my puny laptop crashed after 5-6 minutes. I will go ahead and fix that and upload the changes in the next few days.

I've got another update coming up, new graphics, new font, keeps track of player stats like hits per round, misses per round, accuracy per round, total score, etc.

Another day or two...

A Classic! :) This means you don't have the Visual C++ Version XXXX Distributable. Assuming that Sudi is Visual Studio 2005, you will need this package from Microsoft :arrow: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en :wink:
