BallShoot - A bare bones shooter game easy to expand on.
#4
A cancelled gig gave me time to play with this game today.  Made it more like a real game, almost a little fun.  Main changes are:

Added Sound effects using PLAY statements
Added health point count (5).  Out of health points, game over.
(missing a ball or hitting one cost you a health point)
Some balls fall faster than others, more challenging.
Added moving shield that protects balls from your shots.
Added simple ground background for player to move on
Added simple game over message when health out.

See how many balls you can shoot down before running out of health.

'A bare-bones small shooter game that you can expand on.
'Follow game here: https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2978
'Coded by Dav, AUG/2024 for QB64PE v3.13

'New for v2:  - Added Sound effects using PLAY
'             - Added simple ground background
'             - Some balls fall faster than others
'             - Added moving shield that protects balls
'             - Added health points.  5 hits, game over.
'             - Added simple game over message

'Move player using arrow keys - SPACE bar shoots.
'Shoot the balls. Don't let any hit you or pass you by.
'A moving shield appears now and then to protect balls.
'See how many balls you can shoot down before dying.

'This is a basic shooter game that is easy enough to
'learn from and expand on so you can make your own game,
'I used balls as an enemy because I had a ball SUB handy,
'and it had a colorful effect.  Used it for shots and
'for the moving shield.  I also used an alpha screen
'clearing method using LINE instead of CLS.  This gave
'all the moving pieces a neat trailing/fade effect.

'If you miss a ball, or a ball hits you, then you loose
'a health point.  If you loose all 6 health point then
'the game is over.

'There are many ways to exand this into something better.
'If you do make more out of it, please share it also.
