Fixed a bug I was getting on my end. Enemy ships were being destroyed with out collision prior to beams being shot. Had to initialize beams x y in constructor.

you can also remove the "ipch" folder visual studio makes a new and you project file will be a mere few kb big.


it must have been a huge job, coding those spaceships, font and everything the way you did it ... but i like it.

Bah, I think I forgot it when I updated file. Ya got some graph paper for the graphics. I skipped forward a little and watched the bmp lesson after I made this game. So I have some updates for the future. Im just slow between work and kids : )

Good work bro! A few bugs I see (I can still shoot enemies even after I've been destroyed), but your code organization is pretty good and so is your style. Nice and easy to follow. Keep up the good work!

Pretty nice work there.

But... don't tell me you wrote all those pixels by hand.

I drew the pixels on graph paper and one by one put pixel. Lots of fun.... ya fun.

Which is why the end is more of an incompletion not a bug. Couldnt motivate my self to make the end screen I wanted.

Yippie for bitmaps. 2.0 comming soon.

Ty for the kind comments.

The first version I made was through lesson 13 when we were challenged to make other stuff. Sprites was introduced lesson 20 I think. Working with them now.
