Let's see some screenshots in the news article, eh?

-Isaac

I second the motion...although they are included inside the zip, so you can click on the file and then click on the image links.

Yeah, I remember when all the featured programs had Animated screenshots. Whatever happened to that? If they stopped because of the size, they should make it an option in account preferences.

ooo, id like to have an animated one :)

Oh btw, how do people make those awesome animated screenshots? I dont have the patience to make each picture and put it to animation shop. Is there a program that does it for you

Yeah, I've been wondering this too but vti seems to only take still shots. Also, for some reason some of the animated ss's aren't completely at the same framerate, anyone know why?

You can make an animated screenshot using TISshot (click url) but it isn't simple. Make sure you have no calculator image on vti before starting the capture.

Thanks for letting me know, I just downloaded that program and it looks like it will be useful.

Seeing as how you *are* the boss....

(See, that's your, um, second post ever? :)

I for one am glad that Ticalc featured this game. It is the best I have seen for the 89, and I am sure that Jason worked long and hard to deliver all this fun to the TI community. Thanks for the hard work, Jason, and I hope that we'll see more of your work in the future. Great game.
Will

Yeah, i agree with Will. I know Jason Ho personally (my friend in real life), and i know that he hates school and loves to program. He would like to thank his math class for giving him so much free time to draw sprites for his upcoming games.

Oh hey Jason, say hi to Will for me. Nice game, i dont like your intro though

(Read Subject Heading). Now I have to compete with another Ho. And he knows assembly, and he's Chinese too. Poser. :D. You'd probably would have a great game if I had a TI-89.

WOO! My boy Daren Ho. I thought i was the only Chinese in the TI community too hehe. But whats up with the English first names and the Chinese last names? My full Chinese name is He Jia Sheng.

Ni zheme zhidao wo shi hua ren?

I didn't really get what you were saying in Mandarin. Wo shi He De' en. Wo jiao Daren. hehe. I don't think that was right. Anyways, I'm more Catonese+screwed+whatever than just plain Taiwanese. Hey, go search for my BASIC programs for the TI-85 :).

Zai Jian

-D. Ho

well, directly translated, i said:

how did you know i was yellow man (asian)?
Where were you originally from?

Yeah, im mixed up with languages too, i speak half chinese and half english most of the time (in my family).

Btw, that was pingying that my brother told me was correct, but it doesnt read as it sounds.

Did you by any chance get the idea for the game at JavaGameplay? Cause i swear it looks exactly like the Alien Invasion feature on the site. I had been playing that game on the site for quite a while. I'd never thought that it'd be available for my ti89. Great work Ho, uh I mean Jason.

Of course! I love that game too, so i decided to make it for my TI-89, but with my own upgrades etc. so i can have more control over the gameplay.

- Jason

Ni hao!
Actually, it was pretty easy to read if you just sound it out. Many asians (mostly Chinese and Taiwanese) are getting calcs now. At least many in my school are. BTW, how old are you and how old is your brother? I learned ping-ying a long time ago, but still remember.

This is simply an incredible game that has quite a lot of replay value. This game is really enjoyable because it changes each time you play it, and requires a lot more thought than most shooters. Keep up the good work!

Thanks!

Oh Eric, ill be posting v1.4 in about 5 minutes, and after lunch ill post v1.5, and before i go to sleep v1.6 will be out ;)

Hey, my high score is level 114 if anyone cares :P

I love your game.... Only one that's ever kept me addicted for more than a couple days... However, I do have a minor complaint.... I often won't use my sheild for a few levels, but then I get an upgrade, and I can't see anything else changing, I assume I'm getting a shield recharge. If this is happening, could you please change it so this doesn't happen (unless, of course, you prefer it like this)?

Also, by the way, my highscore (in v1.3) is level 238. (Thanks to my level 88 cluster bombs... Press F1, F1, get the upgrade for the next for levels as the people appear and die... After four levels, repeat...)

OH MY GOD. That is unbelievable :P Lol, and i thought i was doing good at level 114...

*worships beneath your feet*

- Jason Ho

I don't know... I think you deserve worship for writing the program in the first place....

Ask me an interview question at www.calc.org !

Darn it! My high score is onyl 86, but there are teachers lurking everywhere in the school library, so once I save and come back in, some stupid homing missile comes and blows me to smittereens. The bug fix in 1.4 is great, and hopefully you will not make shield recharges redundant. BTW, I tried the directors cut, and it was great the first few times because of the shield recharge, but in the later levels, don't you think one point per three or so seconds is just way too slow, especially with massive amounts of teleportation? Sorry about the ranting.

My (e+e^-1)/2 cents.
