This is my version of the old classic, Space Invaders. I have tried to make it as close to the original as my memory allows (i.e. probably far wide of the mark :-).
The version here is largely complete, but it lacks
- The protective bases at the bottom of the screen.
- A means of selecting the number of players.
- A high-score table, and a means of saving it.
- Decent intro sequences and the like, that would turn it into a fully fledged game.
- Sound.
- A cheat mode!
This is what it looks like...
At the moment it is compiled for two player head-to-head mode (using one controller).
Controling the Game
You control the ship using a controller plugged into port 1.
| Lleft, L1, L2 | Move ship left |
| Lright, R1, R2 | Move ship right |
| Rup, Rdown, Rleft, Rright | Fire missile |
| Start | Start game, Pause game. |
| Start + Select | Quit |
If the controller is unplugged during play the game will go into the paused state. The second controller port is currently unsuported.
Future Changes
I hope to finish the game sometime, but there are other aspects of the PlayStation I want to play with, such as 3D, so changes to the program will take a back seat to this. Of course if someone wants to pay for my time I'll make completing the game my top priority ;-).
