Pocket Invaders anybody?

[JesseParticipant]

I have modified the old Open Source Pocket Invaders from BlitzMax to work with Monkey2. I had to make several changes to the source including the graphics to make it work. I think I got most of the errors. there might be slight inconsistencies. if there are any error let me know so I can fix them:

Works fine here!

Can I add it to bananas?

[JesseParticipant]

Sure Mark.

doesn’t run from ide on osx

runs from file

crash on pressing space to fire when missile hits alien

[JesseParticipant]

That is strange. It works on my my macbook with El Capitan. no issues running it from file or IDE.
compiled with the latest Monkey2 from the repository in debug using Ted2go.

Can you try to see if the executable works in your Mac:

the compiled file works fine with no issues.

I have a feeling I know what the problem is. I’m on Sierra and my thought is to do with the new file system. I’ll do some research and come back to you…

[AdamStrangeParticipant]

yep. Didn’t like the space in the folder name. So now we know not to use spaces in folder names for Sierra

second bug was to do with hitting an alien

around line 777

Monkey

If thisAlien.life <=0 player1.score+=thisAlien.value thisAlien.Destroy() Sfx.AlienDie.Play() Else

1 2 3 4 5 6

If thisAlien.life <=0 player1.score+=thisAlien.value thisAlien.Destroy() Sfx.AlienDie.Play() Else

the error is to do with lists in V1.0.91

I’ve just tried compiling in V1.1.03 and there is no bug. so it’s definitely monkey2 V1.0.91 that has the problem

[AdamStrangeParticipant]

quick update on this 2

replaced modules/std/collection/list.monkey2 with the V1.1.03 version, compiled std and everything works fine now.

[JesseParticipant]

Sounds good. Thanks for trying it and reporting your findings.
