I loved how the space invaders project was able to help along with the general knowledge needed to program these games! This made it easy to code without having to go through the hassle of learning new topics and code. Thank you so much for being a big inspiration in helping me get started with my coding career!!!
Looks like a good course and nice little environment, although the res is a little low, could have at least done MODE 1 ;) For more inspiration, you can visit bbcmicro.co.uk/ although my personal love is remaking classic arcade games for the BBC Micro.
Hi Richard, Thanks for the comments and link. I chose TIC 80 for it's ease of use for beginner programmers; it's self contained for code, sound and graphics. It has it's limitations but still great for games coding. I had a look at some of your videos. Great work on the BBC coding!
Hi Phil, Great. Have a go. If you've completed the beginner's Space Invaders course you'll have all the skills you need to make it work. You just need to work out how to make the aliens swoop down. Watch how they break away from the grid. The vertical motion is simply to move down the screen but the horizontal motion is to accelerate towards the player x position. Give a swooping alien an X and Y speed and adjust them as it descends. Let me know how you get on!

Hi, great to hear you're finding the course useful and well done if you've managed to build some other games. Just keep on coding new projects.
This is actually really useful for beginners, thank you, keep up the good work c:
Thanks for your encouragement. It's great to get some feedback.
i want try Arcadians
Next up is Elite.
Actually.... 3D wireframe would make a great topic!

@@BytesNBits Thanks, I wasn't criticising your choice, just musing on theirs.
I write my games pretty much how you suggest, just MAME->beeb (6502).
