Topher Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) This is an old thread.An updated version with mouse and joystick support can be .I first wrote Reflex for a Commodore 64 in the early 80s. It started out as Centipede but quickly took on a life of its own. Back then it played to the strengths of the machine and was enjoyed by my circle of friends. I have since written it for each type of machine I have acquired and for many of the programming languages I have learned. It is my 'hello world' program Back in the day, the Vic-20, Commodore 64, TRS-80 and Apple ][ all had joysticks, which made this game much easier and more fun to play.Perhaps you'll find there is still fun to be had.I've tried to maintain the spirit of the original graphics system while taking advantage of the increased resolutions and color depth. I have no skill in graphic design so all shapes are stolen from the net and massaged into the shapes I need. I make no apologies for the lackluster graphic quality. It is still miles ahead of the blocky shapes of the original.The instruction manual.The Sound and Image FilesVer 1.4High Score fixed, properly sorted now.Cosmetic changes to Scoreboard to accommodate more systemsReflex.au3IVer 1.3Arcade Style High scores feature addedVer 1.2Fixed subscript problem if row or column was increased.Added 'Auto' option in .ini file to specify the most rows or columns that will fit.Ver 1.1Force Field activation changed from holding down the space bar to being toggled by the space bar.Force Field no longer takes a turn to power up/down.

Skitty Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 lolIt would have been much funnier if melba23 would have seen what I did there, I don't think you really got it since you're probably new here. I basically replaced the bad guys with his avatar since he's the moderator, and the worm thing is leaving a bunch of trojans around, someone should make a game based on moderating this forum, that would be a little hilarious.

Topher Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 @Newb Sorry I'm not versed enough in the compiler to even hazard a why. I've got three different environments here and it compiles in them all for me.
