Another Space Paranoids Update
on Sunday, January, 18, 2004 11:58 PM
Space Paranoids has been updated. Everything looks way better and the code has been completely rewriten so far.

Let us know what you think.

http://www.iturzaeta.com/spaceparanoids
The download is at the bottom of the page and is about 14.8 MB.

As a pilot program I'm sure I should know this, but how do I play? I'm mashing keys all over the place and can't get past the Startup Screen! Thanks.

Enter credits via the "5" key.
Start the game via the "1" key (after credits have been entered).
Aim turret/turn via the mouse.
Shoot via the left mouse button.
Move tank via the arrow keys.
exit back to title screen via "F3".

Argh!
For the past hour or so now I've been trying to get the Beta file to unzip for me and it won't. :<
This was after I downloaded it 2 separate times...
I keep getting an error from WinZIP that it's unrecognizable as a zip file. I get "...it does not appear to be a valid archive. Please try downloading the file again."
Then, I WAS able to unzip the Shadow Test but when I click on the icon for it nothing happens...
I'm frustrated and don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Help, please?

I zipped it with the windows 2003 built in zip engine, I'll download winzip and re-zip it tonight and see if that helps...

For your Shadow test problem, the executable requires directX 9 and also a graphics card that supports stencil shading (for the shadows). I think a GeForce 2 or 3 is the minimum spec.

Yeah, I'm starting to figure that my whole system is just not up to the task.
I have a P3, 550mhz and 256MB RAM with an old Diamond Viper V550 graphics card. Plus I'm on dial-up and my resources are a bit low due to the heavy-duty software I use to create music.
While I do have DirectX9 installed, I did get this message from the direct x diagnostic tool: "Direct3D 9 test results: Display driver does not support API (DDI version too low)" so that explains my lack of a capable graphics card.

It ran for me, no problem. Everything looked very good and the controls were smooth. I'll give some more useful feedback once I've been able to spend some time with it...
Don't you wish your corruption was hot like me?

constructive critisisim
[1] you need to debounce your coin input, as when pressed you get multiple coins.

[2] i dont know if this is supposed to happen, but when you shoot, the 'explosion' seems to get stuck until you shoot again.

otherwise, keep up the good work.

Those two things are fixed and will be out in the next release. I posted a new version that has a working operator screen where you can change things like resolution, bit depth, etc. so you can get a better frame rate. In order to see the new settings you need to exit the game and restart it.

All comments are appreciated and will be taken into consideration.

I just had a game idea for space paranoids. Instead of having a endless game like the original arcade, what do you guys think of playing the game as CLU and help Flynn find his missing programs? That way it has some sort of goal that can be accomplished.

If you think that is cool idea or have any level ideas post it!

It works, but why can't I destroy the recognizer? I can't even find the operator screen!

EDIT: Sorry, triple post!
