Hi,

Just to let you know that I haven't forgotten about your program, I
just moved houses and have to set up my computer. As soon as my
computer is set up, I'll start working on it straight away. Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry for taking so much time. Also sorry, I could not really use the
code you gave me.

Just a little update to let you know what I've done so far.


>Alien spaceships travel at random speeds and in random directions
across the top of the screen in L -> R or R -> L sequence

Done, also travels vertically down screen.


>one objective: to drop bombs on your fighter plane. you have one
objective: to blast the Aliens with your your fighter plane. the
Aliens drop their bombs as ofter as they wish and you must move your
fighter plane so as to avoid being hit.

Done.
   
>The button of the screen display a fighter plane so you can shoot
down a Alien. The L -> R position of which is controlled by the
player's mouse. shooting by pressing the LEFT mouse button.
 
Done, I've also made the fighter plane move vertically.  

>This game must be able to: Start a new game, show score

Done.

>restore a previously saved game, save a current game

Still to do.

>and Exit.   

Done.

Everything after your note is still to do, but it's not very
difficult, I'll try and finish everything tomorrow.

Could you please give me the sounds you want to use? One sound for the
fighter or enemy shooting, one sound for the fighter or the enemy
being destroyed. Thanks.

Regards,
endo

Hi,

I've put a lot of work into this, about 25 hours.

It's not all perfect, but then you said you didn't want it to be. :)
Anyways most of what you wanted works. I thought you might want to
have a go at creating the high score table functionality yourself, to
see if you understand how Java IO works (reading and writing to
files). There are examples in the code on how Java IO works.

Also I haven't tested it as an applet, but hopefully it should work.
:)

I've also commented the code in good detail, but if you have any
questions at all on what something means or what it does, please don't
hesitate to ask. Also if you want me to add more features, please
don't hesitate to ask.

Try playing around with it, adding more features if you want and try
making a scrolling background.

Thanks again for your question.

Regards,
endo

You can find the source code, images and sound files here:
http://membres.lycos.fr/dbky/open0102/

You can find the compiled classes here:
http://membres.lycos.fr/dbky/open0102/classes/

Just right click on the files and choose 'save target as' to save them
to your hard drive.

N.B. I didn't write BaseAudioStream.java myself, so it's not commented
as much, but you don't need to really understand, just know how to use
it, there are lots of examples in the code.
