And now, just in time for X-Mas fun, here's my space game. I posted version one of this arcade-style game as a WIP six months ago. Now I think it's done - I think I've actually finished writing a computer game - omg! Many thanks to Terry Ritchie, MasterGy, bplus and Amazing Steve for the routines I stole - and attributed to them.
I've added difficulty levels, so, if you haven't played before, start on the easy setting. If you run out of ships, the cheat code for more is lower case 'm'. Please lemme know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions for improvement. Someday I may make this joystick compatible, but since joysticks don't work on MacOS in QB64pe maybe Santa will bring me a dusty, old PC. The game has seven different sections and back in June I think only Cobalt got past the middle landing scene. Now I've made the game more forgiving, so I hope everybody can get to the end in round 2.
EDIT: I updated the zip file after @Grymmjack told me about the file extension case sensitivity issue in Linux. It worked fine for me on a Mac as it was - but now I know. Thnx.
EDIT2: >>> I posted a slightly UPDATED VERSION of the game at the top of Page 2 of this thread. <<<
> Added a user message about steering wrong, set default game difficulty to EASY and fixed an
annoying _mouseShow issue where the pointer wouldn't disappear after clicking @ the top of
the screen on MacOS <
