Update 17/02/2003

As for the moment my Job is quite boring, and doesn't take too much of my time, i have respawned my game project. Lot of dust on the web page, but more on the source as i haven't touched the source for one whole year, since i started this Job in fact ..
So i'm alone, as always (no artist), so i don't know where it will go... I'm pretty sure i'm writing that for myself, anyway if someone read that, drop me a mail :-)

I intend to add some of the nice tricks i've learned using OpenGL.. So first i have thrown away the allegro renderer. Let's stick with AllegroGL.

First obviously i am going to clean this messy code of mine, and to remove all the obscure parts.

advancement report:

• frameskip code corrected. collision code optimized
• config routines: choose your graphic renderer between allegro and opengl
• upgraded the engine using allegroGL and therefore OpenGL.
• homing aliens
• preliminary title screen
• the editor is going well...
• tile engine (many layers, with parallax)
• collision detection

Todo:

• implement alien shoots
• upgrade level editor
• options screen and game feedback(such as score/lives left)
• eye candy effects such as splashes or explosions
• release the source when i decide to(after have cleaned and commented my code)
