CoCo Cosmic Aliens 0.13 with source code discussion
5The latest iteration of CoCo Cosmic Aliens adds a game over/attract mode, and include double buffering again.
Progress is being made, but not as much as I had hoped for this version, but progress nonetheless.
The ability to die now exists. An initial high score of 10,000 points has been added to the game, and the ability to beat the high score now exists.
The extra life routine has been tweaked. Originally Extra life was first awarded at 3,000 points and would increment by 3,000 each time. I've tweaked that to increment by "WAVE x 1,000" so if you get an extra life on WAVE 5, it would add 5,000 points to the next extra life you'd receive, etc.
