Space Invaders (change game speed right away)

https://space-defender-andrewduquet.replit.app/

I bit buggy. You have to change the game speed right away to get the left and right buttons to work. Also, the lives count of 3 doesn’t work… Work in progress…

Future improvements:
Fix Lives Count
Use Alien Gif instead of a red square
Use Home Base Gif instead of a green square
Add a Suggestions form
Add affects like blowing up
etc

That’s an early prototype. How many corrections did u made from original prompt until here?

I am on my phone. Touch integration and screen size adjustment would be cool for mobile.

30 years ago I sat in computer class with my fellow students ( we all were around 17 years old), I coded since 2 years already and was freed from active participation, teachers couldn’t teach me new) so one day I remember I coded a basic (literally with basic) ascii code based space invader shooter with keyboard control, while my buddies sat beside me and tried listening to the teacher. It was a real fun moment.

So thanks for bringing space invaders. There was that other game with the birds who let eggs fall on u, also quite a space shooter.

Hi Christian,

Thank you for your questions and trying out my very early Space Invaders prototype.

I am new to replit and needed quite a few corrections to make it work (keyboard controls, range of bullets, etc).

Per your suggestion, I asked the Agent to add mobile responsiveness and touch controls which didn’t work. Player Ship and Aliens didn’t show up due to canvas resizing, rending and initialization. I’ll keep trying to figure this out.

Was the bird game you mentioned “Big Bird’s Egg Catch is a Sesame Street computer game created by the Children’s Computer Workshop and Atari in 1983 for the Atari 2600 VCS.”?
