Wrote a little game… Astrosmasher

Well, out of boredom I’ve created a little game called Astrosmasher. Nothing special really, I just wanted to see if I could make a game look like an old Atari game. I think I succeeded in some ways

Astrosmasher is a partial clone of an older colecovision game bit I got bored with it pretty quickly, I think I’d like to write games that are a little more fun despite the fact that I have no artistic ability.

Anyways, here are some screen shots and a like to the game. The game requires windows 2000+.

Consider this game, for the most part, incomplete. I got bored with the idea and made it workable. It is a hard game though. My high score thus far is 35100. Give ‘er a shot.

Since I’m starting to take measurements based on time and value along with multiple data sets, I’ve decided that I need a new graphing program. This one will allow the use of multiple data sets and it will have save files to allow for easy recall of color settings and data parameters. Here are some of the features:

Multiple data sets
Data sets will have options for coloring and graphing choices
New data sets can be derived from existing data sets
Data sets can be compared
More extensive stats will be used

This will all be written in FreeBASIC. Why? Because I like it. Also because FBEdit kicks ass in relation to FBIDE.

Anyways, I’ll post incremental versions.
