Work in Progress
- Vertical movement for invaders
- Multiple levels (speed, colors, layout)
- High Scores table (
B:/scores/microbe.txt) - Zeal Game Development Kit (ZGDK)
While working on this game, I have gathered a handful of reusable code (SNES, Asset Loading, Random Numbers, Text, Splash Screen, Sound, etc) and plan to move as much of this as possible into a library that can be used to quickly prototype and build games for the Zeal 8-bit Computer.
