Hello there open0102!

I believe there are several researchers here, including myself, who
may be interested in taking on this project. However, I do not feel
the question price (currently $50) adequately reflects the amount of
work required to create a good quality program for you. If the
question remains unanswered for a while, I would suggest taking a look
at the Google Pricing Guidelines and considering revising the offered
fee:

I just want to learn how to use Java to create a game like that, so
the game does not need to be very good, because the game is not for
playing

Hi,

I'd like to reiterate what seizer said, there are people that can
write this for you, but it would require at least a couple of hours.

If you start off with the source code of the game suggested by
eadfrith at http://www.wyrddreams.demon.co.uk/java/Invaders/src
and you start adapting that, and tell us where you're stuck, then we
can help you out.

Thanks.

I'm afraid I don't have time to code the game but here are a couple of
sites where you can download Java source code for similar "alien
spaceship" games. Take a look at the source and see if you can adapt
it to your needs.

http://javaboutique.internet.com/SpeckInvaders/

http://www.wyrddreams.demon.co.uk/java/Invaders/

These are both applets. To run an applet as an application you can use
the code from this site:
