[announce] Creepy Invaders game

[haviital]

Hi all,

I have made Creepy Invaders Python game for S60 3rd edition. You can download the sis packet and sources (under GNU license) from here:
http://koti.mbnet.fi/haviital/index....ts_python_apps

I have coded it fully on device using E61i and PyEditS60 (nowadays I have switched to Ped). Also graphics has been made on device.

Features:
- background midi music
- fast action & lot of moving objects
- levels & scores
- retro-style gfx made using ascii tables(!)
- not much else ;-)

Thanks for the Forum members for giving very useful hints and tools for development :-)

Br,
Hannu

Impressive, works on my 6210 classic, runs a little fast though.

I have written a couple of post to this forum under the user name "Hannu", but recently I remembered my old user name again :-)

About speed: Yes, the framerate should be synchronized to real time clock.

Hello Hannu ,

I saw that you have released today Frodo for 3rd
Thanks for this great emulator !

Some suggestions for making better your little game :
- use accelerometer for N95 for moving the spaceship like Accelerinvaders game
- aliens should go down
- add some sounds for shoots

yes, Frodo 3rd ed has been hanging there for a long time so I am happy to finally release it.

Actually invaders go down, but very very slowly!

Afaik, Python do not support audio streaming (like I use in Frodo/Bilbo). Audio clips are always loaded to the audio HW before playing which freezes the game for a while.

Accelometer is a nice idea but not supported for all phones.

Hi Hannu,

You could probably think to release a variant for accelerometer supported devices.

release a variant for accelerometer supported devices.

Just check whether accelerometer is available or not. No need to make a variant.

Cheers,
