Why is my program so slow?

What! What is that?? Black mothership over white background?? Never seen it before, sorry can´t work non-standard references! 

Hehe, here goes the mother ship and another version of the main ship, not quite ok, but it is better now.

[erico]

I got around to do a better old school ship this time, here it goes....
What the heck they were thinking when they drew the ship in space invaders?

ps: sorry hanyon21, I guess I invaded your post quite bad

Matchy said he did the bullet...

No, I just put a yellow block for testing. Besides I wonder what hanyon21 thinks of this friendly sprite hijack.

Can you do a mother ship that looks like a Mardi gras float? Or maybe a school bus? lol
J.K. They look really good.

PS, what should we call the game? "Space-Invaders" is taken.
How about "The Not-From-Earth-Interlopers"?
Hmm.. sort of rolls of the tongue.

O.K seeing as the original poster was having problems with their code & somehow managed to get graphics made for them, If I posted some graphics could  someone code the game for me

That would make a nice change. I'm free at the moment.

hehe. Im do guess he is now more aware what LIMITFPS actuelly does. Like my new game, placeholder graphics is allways nice to have, and a Space Invarder game is a cool game to start with as a beginner.

Sure shot, I hope this humble set of sprites help out to motivate, also for any new user.
It could be used on the GLB program examples and also be incorporated on Mr.Tatoad´s books (in a diskette?  ).
Personally I prefer the flat versions over the shaded ones, but who knows?

I too, am happy to see new users posting whole programs like this.

What is wrong with the "I have an idea and need code+sound+gfx+etc"

One good way to extend the "Invaders from Space" game would be to have a lot of aliens coming and able to shot a lot with your ship, but every destroyed alien carcass would fall down too, making it a tough challenge between the will to power zap and avoid the falling leftovers and bullets. (alien leftovers are undestructable here). I did start a bit of gfx on this idea but had to get back to the android-game before I have to go back to real-life-work But it was great fun!

There is nothing wrong with it. That's why KittyHello needs to get busy on the DOITALLFORME$( ) command.
You just describe what you want, and GLBasic does the rest.

Sounds like a good excuse to spark up a mini-challenge topic in the Competitions thread.

That is so tempting! hanyon21, what do you think of all this?

We have probably scared hanyon21 off, poor person has only posted twice & doubt they expected it to "Expand" so to speak into what it has. God I love this forum

Well, hopefully he is just busy and will come back anytime
The quick-compo is tempting...I wish I had time to raise it up. Maybe between finishing this one game going and starting another will be a good time.

I think we scared him off...
