Oh, alright not to polished, is written in C with a sprinkling of C++. The controls are:

Q: left
W: right
P: fire

Thanks to all on these forums who helped me achieve my goal of Space Invaders in 'C'.

All comments welcome.

yeah I've some work to do on the optimisation... (chuckles)

Would you believe it - a bug! I'm gonna have to sack my test squad, if you press fire to quickly, you might miss the incoming missiles (the letter V)...

Can't sack myself however, oh well....

Granted, but without Brucey's help I would have struggled to resolve the terminal windows blocking input calls. So, as I said thanks to all who helped me in this project from the blitz forums.

This ones written in Blitz though (not space invadas however):-

no you are right, however I am considering interfacing my C Code with either BMax or B3D - using the C code as the controller for the x and y parameters etc.

Nice but this is the BLITZ showcase not C or otherwise showcase.

Maybe I should showcase my COBOL, C, C#, VB apps here?
