I have added sounds to the shoots. "m" for mute/unmute.

Edit01: sounds are now audible on WXP
Edit02: I have added a health bar for the ship

Thought I'd already corrected this, I'll take a look, thanks. I only get this error on WXP.

If it helps, I'm on W10/64.

I was afraid you'd say that

Do you hear the sounds of the shoots or it remains in silence? In my W10 it works aparentely well, I only get the error on my VirtualBox-WXP. Also, here the movements are faster =:/

It will be a slowly debugging time

Thanks

Yes, the sound works fine for me.

Before closing the program I cleaned some DC buffers that maybe interacted with something on Windows tasks, so I removed that letting Windows do the job. Now it seems that there is no error. However I noticed in my VB-WXP that after the first match, the sound dissapears.

Hi caballero
It works fine here, even after a few matches.

Thank you for testing

I have added a pixel clipping text scrolling to introduce the game, maybe a bit long

I'd like to introduce a point counter increased for each ufo killed

Edit: Added a scoring system. Each enemy gives a certain amount of points, which appear for a moment on the screen. The idea is that, when you reach a certain amount, you get some kind of benefit, such as a double shot or extra life. On the right side would be the energy bar of a special enemy, with a greater amount of energy, that would need several shots, and that would give more points.

Nice, works perfect here.

Hi, Siekmanski, thank you for testing it

caballero · « **Reply #28 on:** October 17, 2021, 02:20:21 AM »

Added system points and scoring. Every 400 points, a new life, at a maximum of three. At the starting of every new life, our ship is immune and its colour brightness decreases to indicate it.
