I tried your link and it doesn't work for me. I tried shortening and looking through your other stuff and I still coulnd't find it. I seen the tank game you have and it seems to be pretty good. Collision is a little off and so is the bullet shooting. Did you program that in VB because I did something similar, just a little more in depth.(diffrent weapons, powerups, Hud, enemy, AI,Capture the flag, DeathMatch, and online play)

If you want help with the alien birds "flocking" let me see what code you have and give me the sprite images that you want to use.

I think the one he's talking about is:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.power40/html/megascramble.zip

There are a few graphics that weren't included in the zip but reming them off doesn't effect the gameplay. Rem off line 6, 8, and 72.

Powerman, looking good. One of the first things I noticed is you need to add a ",1" at the end of every image loading. This will make Darkbasic Pro load the graphic exactly the way you drew it. The default for Darkbasic gives graphics an anti-aliased look.

Birds flocking could be done just as you did the ship. Just make a graphic of birds flying (maybe 3 frames) and cycle the picture the sprite uses. The volcano could also be a sprite animation... rather than using particles.

If you need help with animating sprites just let me know and i'll post some code.
