I'm thinking about doing a version of the classic game space invaders, but I have a few questions? I'd be doing it in pure Basic for 84+ and it would be completely graphical. Is this game done to death? If so I won't bother, I want this to be game that will actually be used and if this game is overmade, it obviously would not be.

Im not sure it would be cool to make a Space Invaders game but Im not to keen on pure basic although I never fully developed my skills in pure basic programming but the last fully graphical pure game I made was Galactic which can be found on ticalc.org, it's rele slow but that was two years ago when I sucked at programming so idk ima remake and see how fast it is but pure basic is not the best for graphical programming definetly would suggest Xlib but yea space invaders would rock

I don't use xlib... I don't know why, I just have no real desire to. Maybe one day I will, but first I want to master pure basic. Anyway, the system I have would be fast enough for the graphics. Don't base your vote on that.

Yea i know what you mean Super Speler I used to be like why do people use it and I would never download Xlib games until one day I decided to try it out and got hooked like a drug a very bad drug that makes you miss important topics in class among other things lol jk..jk but seriously you will get addicted to Xlib if you use it for a month

EDIT: Off topic but super speler I like ur avatar

Ok, but to be clear while I have nothing against using xLib, I just don't want to use it in this game.

Answer to offtopic: It was origanally going to be animated and keep inversing itself but... I decided not to cause seizures.

Space Invaders, eh? Well, I'll tell you this: it can be done, it can be fast, but it can be a pain to code. I had a working version of it somewhere around here...
