DaredevilDave:
Video of the game!

Youtube description:
Early video of a mostly working Computer Space clone I'm working on. Computer Space was the first commercial coin-op video game.

The ship graphics, speed, turning rate, and many other things need to be worked on still.

Game will run on Mac, PC and Linux when it is complete. It is compatible with MAME front ends, such as MaLa and Hyperspin.


I see I uploaded the most boring part of the video where my ship barely even moves :(
!blablabla

There are things I am unsure of and/or that need to be fixed.

To do
- The missiles in my game are short lines and I think they were just dots in the original.
- I believe missiles are not destroyed in the real game after they collide with a ship. Mine don't either.
- Upon being hit, player missiles should spin out of control as the ship spins.
- Not sure about the turning radius of the missiles, but I can figure this out, as well as speed of all objects and ship rotation. Theses speeds are always the same so it's easy to figure out as long as I have a video to watch. Of course player testing will come into play too.
- Screen flash isn't completely finished.

Done
- I now have a working MAME style Tab menu
- Game has sounds ripped from videos. Clean as I could get them for now. They probably sound as bad as the original cabinets :)
- Everything else.

I will make a copy of this available real soon, I promise.

Comments on the video are welcome. If you see something wrong please let me know!

There's no video dude.  You need to put a description in between the url tags as half of the browsers out there can't see the depreciated youtube support on this site.  That way we can click on the link.

DaredevilDave:
I fixed it but I still don't see the video on one of my PCs.

Here's a link:


![url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKuzv75_nCE&feature=youtu.be#]! No longer available[/url]

If it doesn't work in this post then I guess copy/paste the url above? Not sure what else to do.

ETA
Sorry video seems wonky still in some browsers. Can anyone help me out? I'm still trying.

raph:
I watched it on YouTube, and it looks like it's come along nicely!

Howard_Casto:
Yeah it looks good.  Something that seems to be ruining the illusion is when the screen inverts.  You can see black around the spaceship dots.  I don't know if that's even fixable.
