Spaze Invaders v1.0.1 (TI-84+CSE & CE)
« on: February 16, 2016, 08:10:57 am »

As a quick little side project, I've started porting my TI-84+CSE port of Movax's Spaze Invaders over to the newer TI-84+CE. This shouldn't take too long :)

Very nice James! I loved the original, so it'll be nice to have it up and running on the CE as well. :D

Thanks! Same, the original was a favourite of mine back in the day!



It's coming along pretty quick - hopefully I can have it finished by next week.

Looking great! Just clarifying, this is with updated sprite routines/etc. and not using Mateo's gbuf technique? The intro is really cool :D

Correct, this is all CSE/CE dedicated code :)

Thanks all :) I think it looks good on the 84+CE. I have some potential ideas for minor updates down the track, but I'll focus on some other projects for the time being.

There is a bug in the current release version: if you are using Cesium and you have prgmSPAZE "hidden", the game will crash on exit due to an issue with the high score saving. I should have v1.0.2 uploaded in the next 24-48 hours with a fix for this - sorry for anyone who has been affected!

I thought so too! It all depends on your strategy, I guess. :P I used to move between bunkers, shooting only then, but I got hit a lot, so I looked at @JamesV 's screenshots and saw that I could've stayed behind a bunker and shoot thru it at the invaders  x.x. This makes the chance of losing lower and is the reason why I can now tolerate Medium!  :blah:
Does this qualify as a signature?
The answer is "Sure."

My strategy used to get me 2000+ points on the TI-83 version back in the day, although I think the highest I've gotten recently during testing was around 1900 (on HARD difficulty). Perhaps I should post a play through video? :)
