 [BBsoftware] 1942 clone

It's time to divide this topic from the searching-for-1942 topic, and a good start needs some links:
screenshot 1
screenshot 2
[gamename] C16 alpha1

At the moment, the aitplane shoots and move, ok, what more?

hm, if anybody can modify/optimize the basic code - you are welcome happy

I forgot to say: in game there is a variable calls TH which you can change between 1 or 2.
1 = normal shot
2 = super shot

The next steps:
1. Looping (i must convert the c64 gfx into c64) & powerups
2. enemies (i thought about DATA, also predefined controls for enemies with 4 or 5 different movements) - what do you think?
3. better memory mapping ($1000-$1500 Starcode in Basic / $2000-$2400 character code / $3000- ... the main code)
4. finally, a title screen
5. joystick support
6. music and sound support
7. finally, i hope, the compiling into machinecode
8. maybe, improvements and extras

I'm saying this now, so you don't get disappointed later on: there is NO WAY you can move that many things (enemies, player, shots, etc.) at full frame rate with a basic program. It will be "jumpy", which is a big negative for an action game. Why not develop the whole thing in machine code from the start?

BBSoftware, your basic is awesome! I take my hat off to you! happy

It also makes me cry! Will it really run fast enough? Your GFX are impressive!

The game should be called another name for legal reasons. Capcom may hunt you down and as you may know the game doesn't belong to Elite! wink

How about "1946" aka 1942 +4 hehe. wink

Wanna make music for this, but HOW?
The very first idea is to use TLC's frq converter for a 3voices tune...but I wish to compose something for TED!
TLCPlay is quite hard to guide to the right way, hence? MusicMaster? Witthaker's Music Maker?
We still need a powerful TEDmusic editor!
