| My first game is done.  I've got a few minor things to add but so far works ok on my machine.  I wrote this as an exercise to learn Blitzmax and am always interested in comments on coding style and better ways to accomplish different programming tasks. Enjoy! http://blitz.dkmhosting.com/index.htm |

| To make it work on the PC, I added "littleendian::" before the high score file path. There's a little bug in the same section -- if the high score file doesn't exist, you're still calling CloseFile, and as the file variable is Null, it crashes. I also found the missile collision detection a bit too strict -- I'd do a simple distance check but allow a good few pixels leeway myself. Nicely done though! |

| The screenshots look nice (I am one of the 99.99% of computer owners that do not own a MAC) :cD |

| Your link seems to be dead. Shame, I was looking forward to trying this. |

| The web site is down but I can still ftp in and view all the files.  It also looks like I've got a few bugs to fix.  For now I commented out the highscores since its still a work in progress and reuploaded the files to the server. When the web site comes back up they'll be there. Last night I signed up with six different hosting providers and went to a hundred more web providers to find a free one where I could my game. Guess you get what you pay for I also guess this is why it's called it a prerelease. Doh! |

| Eh, I'm not to happy with my isp, thinking about dropping them.  Good news is the web site is back up. |
