Tech Invaders 3

[SierraKen]

This is a new and improved version of my old Tech Invaders 2 I made a few years ago. This version uses your mouse to control your shooter back and forth and press the button to fire. 
I also changed the looks of your shooter and the enemies as well as different sounds. As with Tech Invaders 2, this will automatically generate a small text (.txt) file called toptentech.txt in the same directory you save this game in, which is for the Top Ten scores. It will save your score if you beat any of the current ones. Thanks goes to B+ and the rest of the gang a few years ago for some help. I did make version 2 when I was fairly new with QB64 so it probably has around 5 times more code than needed, but I didn't want to keep messing with over 1000 lines of code and countless variables to make it smaller. 
Enjoy!


Code deleted because of a much better version I posted below.

I definitely prefer mouse over arrow keys! Those enemies are cute! Nice update

[SierraKen]

Thanks B+!

Took me 3 tries to get the Boss the first time.


Was there a reason you put in multiple "randomize timer" commands in the program? I usually just slap it into a program once at initialization and don't worry about it later. Just curious if there is a technical reason.

[SierraKen]

No, when I used to program in QBasic in the 1990's I used to think I needed to do it many times, so when I began QB64 I did the same thing. I removed a couple for this version but I guess I didn't see the others. Thanks for telling me.

[SierraKen]

I'm cleaning up the code right now and just got rid of over 100 lines of code since I don't need the last few SUBs when I can put every Enemyexplosion SUB into just 1. I'll make 1 or 2 other changes as well and repost real soon.

[SierraKen]

Here is the updated version. I added a 3rd saucer or alien to shoot at per screen (besides the face alien), which includes the face you shoot too. Since I added this 3rd saucer, I'm back to over 1000 lines of code, but it's OK. At least I removed all those unneeded SUBs. I also cleaned up the code a little bit and DIMed most of the variables. I DIMed them mostly because I tried a 3rd alien the other day and it froze on me. Either I had something wrong or the app ran out of memory or something. But it works great now. I also fixed the looks of the aliens that are on the screen right after you defeat the Boss Robot. They now look the same as they do at the very start of the game. Tell me what you think. As with the other one, this will make a small text file for your Top Ten scores in a text file called toptentech.txt so it would be best to put this in its own directory. Enjoy!
