Text Invaders 0.9.2
==============
I've been busy for a long time so I haven't finished this yet, but it's playable, and it's pretty fun and you can customize the levels and make your own through the use of XML files (which was a pita to research but easy once I found out how, XML in VB6 is not well documented).
It's simple, you just use the arrow keys to move and spacebar to shoot, avoid the falling V's, they're bullets from the enemies (it may seem obvious but somehow my cousin who has a MS couldn't tell,
). After each level there's a shop where you can upgrade your ship. The levels file can be edited to change the difficulty, I'm working on loading all the XML files in the program directory and allowing the user to choose which one they want to play so that it's a lot easier.
Changelog:
0.9.3- Loads all XML files in program directory
- This is sorta not done, but it works. Uninstall the previous version or delete text.xml if you don't want a duplicate levelset in your levelset menu.
0.9.2- Explosions added
- Some code cleaning has begun, moving to more object oriented techniques now, but that's just engine stuff that no one sees. This only affects people trying to look at the source and make sense of it.
