Game: DEFCON 1980 ~ A work in progress

[zach]

DEFCON 1980 [0.5]

A spinoff Defender-esque game, 87.3% compatible with DEFCON.
It is a work in progress, and as such, lacks a few very basic things, most importantly timing.

This means that the game will run at a speed relative to the raw power of your box. For now, anyway. I can't finish it at the time being, and thought someone might want to have a look at it. It's nothing big, but I was immensely bored ( as you might've guessed )

Here's a single screen for ya;


The game is obviously inspired by this wallpaper by Kuth.

Source
Available here (view online). (Please note that line 46 produces an obvious compile error and should be removed. I can't change it as of now)
DEFCON 1980 is Open Source, released under the GNU GPL. I haven't included the source with the .zip file, so this is the only way to get it. Instructions for use/compilation (as well as basic comments) are in the source.

got to lvl 7, then it got boring...

(come on Chris... give zanzer7 the source for defcon... he could make miracles...)

You got all the way to level 7 before it got boring? XD

I'd say it's quite boring as it is ... Though if you dig a tiny bit into the source code, you should find some random stuff. Actually, I ought to recompile a version I had fun with earlier. I'll do that when I have more time

[mibias]

if you are really bored (and i mean REALLY bored) you can make a shop... to buy more missiles, more silos etc.

Port it yourself. (I'm thinking of having a go at porting this to Linux, but as I have little programming experience (Pascal, anyone?) I wouldn't hold your breath, anyone.)

The last programming language that I had anything to do with was BASIC on an Apple II. I think that porting this game is a bit beyond my abilities.

Crossover games can be brill, but, I'm sorry, hasn't missile command done this, never mind defender?

Besides, it has arches
(And some other stuff soon enough)

[zach]

Hmm. I continued working on this. It has timing now, and I figured I might as well work on that shop thing, just for fun XD (ooh multishell)

Will be a while though, if ever

I have returned from the dead to say:

YES!

And NeoThermic was the one, IIRC, who said he'd have to do this. Kudos to you sir

This is what happens when coursework gets in the way of life. Ah well, I still plan to do mine, as I was taking a different approch, and my code will be linux and mac compatable
