This is my first 20-liner (actually 16 lines). It is a simple game but is very fun. It requires no media and the gameplay is endless. Play and enjoy. Here is a picture of the gameplay.

Here is the most recent update

The source button isn't working, try putting the code in code brackets.
Just press the "code" button at the top above the smilies.

Use the [ code ] button at the top-right of the Post Forum Message area. Put it in front and after your code in the body of the message, like so (without the extra space) ...

[ code]
Print "Hello World"
Wait Key
[ /code]

Edit: Once your newb status is up and your posts start to post immediately, you can start using the Source area to post code.

Here is an updated version which fixes any known problems. Specifically that the game is now actually possible after level 20.

Very nice. Very dizzy-ing. The background is great. I made it to level 7. No score to post though - I didn't see one.

Edit: Oh and there is a bug about half way through the 3rd to last line. Then number 20 is written 20#.

Nice game, I got up to level 4 before I found out they were killing me
Maybe you should make the ship go red or something when they crash into you.

Thanks for the comments. EvMaster I took your advice and made the ship get red when they crash into the base and I fixed the bug RiiDii found.
Same game for now, maybe i'll add power-ups when I got time. Thanks again.
Here is the code.

Nice to see people are playing .
A while back, I made an updated version that is much easier to play which included some new stuff like a laser, but I never got around to posting it . Im at school right now, so I will post it tomorrow, if I remember. Thanks for playing, and oh yeah, be careful not to let your mouse over heat

Wow level 16! Way to go. Do you guys use the laser more or the slow mo? I find myself using the laser more, but the slow mo is always good to get out of tight situations. Thanks for playing guys.

You may want to make it so you cant use both specials at the same time. if you have about 40% special energy you can eliminate an entire level with power to spare by slowing it down and getting them while they are all grouped. I do like it though, but the 2 specials at once made me quit eventually because i was always at 100% energy

Ok, I made it so that you can't use both specials at the same time (see top post). I was a bit surprised to see someone had played, but thanks for playing none the less.

I keep getting the error line exceed 255 characters.

Is there a work around or clean version that doesnt have such long lines?

Why am I getting this error? Is it my computer or some setting?

thanks

Are you using Dark Basic Pro.?, if not, I don't think this is compatable with Dark Basic Classic. If you are using Pro. though, then you shouldn't get that error at all and I don't know what the problem is. I can post the extended version if you think it will work or I can post the exe.

Nice game, I got to level 25! I used both specials, but mainly I used the laser special for the big ball and narrow it down to some small pieces. I hope to program some good games like this! Nice work!!!

You said earlier about posting an exe, plz do, I can't wait to have a go!

There are three types of people, those that can count and those that can't.
