Space Invaders Game Released

Post by SimonGreenaway »

I have released my Space Invaders game, an accurate to the original arcade version. Runs on all types of QL with memory expansions.

HI,

Great game, works perfectly on the Q68 no need to slow the game down.

I load the game from a FLP image from a FAT partition on a SD Card with FDI loaded to and configured as FLP1, all works great.

Just need a Joystick on the Q68, maybe that will come in the future...


Regards,

Derek

Great game. Runs very nicely. Good job!!!!

I have tested it in QemuLator with different Speed and RAM configs. It works great at the right speed in all configs. Well done!!!

This looks interesting, was it written in Superbasic and compiled. If so would you post a copy.

It is written in C - the source is in the link from Simon's first message on this page.

The game is very good and has a nice retro look from the early 80s. I'm not much of a gamer, but I find the movements very smooth and fluid.

A technical aspect to highlight is that the game adapts and runs very well on all the hardware systems that I have tested, both on real machines and in different emulator configurations. I have tested in real QL with GoldCard, Q68 FPGA, Q-emuLator with different speeds, ... and the game flows practically the same in all of them without touching speed settings. (This is greatly appreciated).

Bravo to Simon!!
