Space invaders

So after working around a week on tetris, I've finally given up on it. I have made the main game engine, the blocks fall and rotate and move and all, but I haven't completed the scoring part as yet.

I worked on pong today, and it was surprisingly easy to program, maybe because I made it as a 2 player game, so I didnt have to do any AI stuff. I've been ignoring AI till now, I haven't yet made a game with AI in it. Tankwars was 2player, so is pong, and tetris didn't need AI.

My next project will be sort of a clone of space invaders, but it will be less of a clone than the other games I've made so far. Infact, I won't even play the actual game to find out what happens, I'll just make the story and everything on my own. So I guess it won't actually be a clone. It will be my first real complete project.

Classes start on monday, which will probably limit the time I can give to my projects. And that would suck really bad, I really don't want to go back to studying inorganic chem and Mechanics of Solids. I'm having so much fun right now.

Anyways, I'll keep giving updates about my new project.
Cheers.
