The story goes: one day I was looking at the Caverunner code and the idea just kinda hit me. That and Starfox inspired this game. I eventually discovered that my DBClassic project was under 500 commands, so I formatted it in ridiculously large lines that comprise the source code you will see in the source code tab.

Yahoo doesn't like me posting images, so just visit the tiny website at:

http://www.geocities.com/tao_butt_kick/

The media is below 150k. A readable, compilable version of the source code is found here. At least I hope is translated as a snippet correctly (some of the lines are pretty long). You can cound it if you wish, but you'll find that it is around 480 commands:

Merry Christmas. In a future version, there will be shield powerups (hopefully). I still have somewhere around 18 commands left to play with. But like I said, just go to the website. You will only find the sourcecode here, which means I've made .exes!

Oh, by the way, I made sure the FPS rate doesn't go over 35 for playability. If I left it unchecked the game would well go over 45+, and look like a bunch of hummingbirds on steroids.

Awesome game!

only thing i noticed was that teh bullets get clipped to quickly, you should let them fly a bit longer caus there is a couple of times i was sure i woulda hit an enimy but it got cliped to soon

, oh well. Good luck on your entry!

Hey thanks. I gave the plasma bursts a range that help keep the player on his toes. Thanks again.

Well, it's been three days now. Has anyone else got ANY comments (good or bad).

Thanks, anyone else? Anything anyone would like to specifically say that they liked/dislikes, etc? I know not to expect any answers around Christmas, but man, oh man... it's been almost a full week with only two legitimate replies, but a whopping 123 views

.

On a positive side, it must mean that people are crunching to get their alienware competition stuff done

. But if you could just pay even a few sentences, that'd be terrific - all I'd ask

its a good game! only problem i found was that it froze when shields reached 0 but nothing too much, a greater view distance would be nice as well, as its quite hard to see the enemies until thier bullets are hitting you!

Uhh, yeah, hehe... I see your point, but which version did you download? The ship in version 4 is way too big ( forgot to cancel a scaling value ) . Being too big can cause you to really get pelted by those orbs. Version five is just about right. Sorry, getting an exact size of a model in Wings is pretty tricky.

Also, Given the fact that it is a dark cave, well, at least I made it challenging given that it is not a level-based game, I hope...

Ok, 1 thing I don't really like is the camera movement.

When you are on the top half of the screen, the camera follows the ceiling. Because it's so bumpy, ur camera moves up and down rapidly!
