Invaders from Space

Hello everyone,

I joined this forum about a year ago with the intention to learn C++ and make games. Well that never happened :mrgreen: however I'm back with an even more burning desire to learn how and am determined to make some good games. I'll probably be around here a bit more from now on. I re-learnt C++ in about a day and have picked up SDL fairly quickly, as it's not a hard api. This is basically my first attempt at a game (I made pong in a day but its not great (neither is this one :) (yay for brackets!))) and I'd kinda like to show it off a bit. Took about a week and a half to code (most of that was slacking :D) and is made with C++ and SDL.

Yeah I could have made it better and didn't use all the sprites I had but I'm getting kinda tired of it and have other projects/things I'd rather code, so you can spare me the "You should always finish what you start" lecture. This was made purely for educational purposes and not for entertainment :P . All the art was done by http://sp534.deviantart.com/ so many thanks fly out to him :mrgreen: . Also, I had the intention of releasing the code with this but it's turned into a complete mess and I REALLY cba fixing it </lazyness> :D

Hopefully it'll work on everyone's pc. I have it tested on xp and my artist on win7 but if it doesn't work then sorry. So here's the link I know you've been dying to get.... not :lol:

Briliant mate, and props on helping me get out of studying for the accounting competition for 10 minutes xD

just kidding I liked it, it was a little slow paced, but fun, and I now want to make an intense shooter with bullets flying everyone, and enemies all up in your grills lol
