Hi Dark, Just a slight correction if I might. This is not intended to be anything more than information for information's sake.
Dark wrote: One of the things that makes graphical space invaders so appealing is that the player is tracking many factors at once. The position of the spaceships above them, the firing of bullets from those ships and the need to dodge, the position of their shields, and the position of not only the particular invader they're shooting but the ones right across the screen. End quote Actually, the invaders themselves are little guys in red spacesuits descending from a spaceship at the top of the screen. As I recall the mothership doesn't attack the player. Only the little guys in red spacesuits drop bombs or bullets at the player. I suspect your use of spaceships is based on the various audio renditions of Space Invaders where many spaceships are used rather than little aliens in red spacesuits. Its an understandable mistake, but just wanted to point out in classic Space Invaders, the one you are talking about, it is several aliens in spacesuits not spaceships the player is shooting at.
