Space Invaders Game with AutoIt

[Eigensheep]

Hello everyone,

Just a little recreation of the Space Invaders game. I'm sure it's been done before (?) but it's good practice to do it myself!

There's no sound because I wanted to try to keep it to a single .au3 file and I'm pretty sure you can't generate your own sounds.

The controls are:

ENTER - play game

LEFT/RIGHT - move left or right

SPACEBAR - fire

Any ideas on how to optimise it would be great, I wanted to add the barriers that you usually get to hide behind but it was becoming too slow. And of course, if I've got any rules wrong then feel free to correct it...

Well done Eigensheep! 

Add sound to get more atmosphere (possible with a single au3 file) and a small explosion animation when ship was hit.

Br,

Works fine !

Thanks to share

Thanks for the feedback UEZ! I'll take a look at using Beep() to generate some sounds for it...

Glad you enjoyed playing wakillon

That is seriously cool. I really love the nostalgic feel of it, very good job.

Very Good!, brings back memories of playing Space Invaders in the Pub.

V2.5 add sound (midi explosion sound?)

V3.0 Animation!

I updated the code and put it to credit with the 5 key, I left the screen resolution free to be changed and made some improvements to the code

This is really neat and it runs smoothly!
