Space Invaders

Now here's one you must remember. You know, all those hours in the arcade, stuffing coins into the machine because you know you can beat the high score if only that bloke stops slurping his drink in your ear. Or those evenings in with your Atari 2600 and a battered joypad having 'just one more game' while your little brother flicks bogies at the screen and scores more points than you. Well, now I've jogged your memory, here's the game. It's written in Java, it's basic but it's functional and it's damn fun if I do say so myself. The keys are:

My high score is 49400 while play testing. See if you can beat it.


You don't have a Java-enabled browser do you? Nice try, but no space invaders for you today!
