Could it be Galaga:

We've never even seen that second one before, but it's the right genre. Here's a new video:


Link to the vid in case Youtube's still being stupid about embedded videos...

Since the last video, we've added collision, shooting, special effects, enemy wave spawners, non-polar object support, and a bunch of little things deep in the engine. It looks more like a game, now. The music in the vid is intended to be to the boss theme song. The menu graphics, like everything else, are very work-in-progress.

Interesting to note: So far, we /aren't/ using the Love's particle system. Rather, the effects (as well as everything else) are all handled by my custom-made "object" system.

I've been working hard on keeping the level format as simple as possible. Here's the level's data for spawning the enemies in the video:

Code: Select all

waves = {
	{	start = 60, type = "enemy1",
		delay = 30, number = 8,
		-- bNotTargets = false,
		properties = {AI={
			{AI.leave},
			[30] = {AI.clockwise},
			[60] = {AI.leave},
			[120] = {AI.counterclockwise},
			[180] = {AI.seek},
			[210] = {AI.straight, AI.shoot_target},
		}},
	},
	{	start = 360, type = "enemy1",
		delay = 30, number = 4,
		properties = {angle=2, AI={{AI.straight}}},
	},
	{	start = 375, type = "enemy1",
		delay = 30, number = 4,
		properties = {angle=-2, AI={{AI.straight}}},
	},
	{	start = 720, type = "enemy1",
		delay = 30, number = 2,
		properties = {radius=12, angle=0, AI={{AI.seek}, [300]={AI.strafeleft, AI.shoot}}},
	},
},
Not bad at all, in my humble opinion.

I think I remember seeing an NES game that looked like this.

nice.
from watching the video, maybe the stars should move faster the farther away they are from the center to give this "flying through stars in 3d" feeling.
ie like the windows screen saver.
