Voidtrix – UFO sausages are approaching

Voidtrix – one more black and white shooter with theme of space. For this time, it is that certain simple space shooter, which I try to make from the beginning. And it was as a result – a game TRIA. But, this certain title I do, using program code TRIA. So, this is funny situation.

It is in the idea itself – simple space shooter. One player. 1 type of shooting. Black and white space. And UFO sausages as enemies. They are shooting with zigzags. Something like right orientation and left orientation. 4 types of flying sausages. First type – cannot shoot at all. Last type shoots with both types of shooting.

You are flying in space. And at your side - UFO sausages are flying. At first, start point, idea of a simple space shooter. And so, this moment is here, a moment for this certain game. Screen mode 320 x 200. Screen 7.

I dream for a long time about this certain game. Triangle – it is player. And shooting about space. With UFO sausages. With a simple graphics form.

I am sure that lots of developers has such games, which they want to make. And I am lucky. This one – it is not difficult in realization.

Gam with retro style. Something like 80s. Or like computers from 80s. By the way, idea about game like this – I have in my head for a long time. Later I always to forget. And a more later moment - to remember again. So, this is a moment for – to make it.

Theme of UFO sausages and a simple graphics. Drawing with lines, and with little of circles. I like this also. As idea of built in commands for programming language Basic. You just immediately can something to show. As soon as you setup screen mode. And enter command LINE. That’s cool! For this one, I give a big value to Basic.

Game has a title voidtrix. Word void – it is emptiness. I am about space empty place. Space void. When it is low of stars or there are no of them at all. This is like empty space. As a black screen. For simple space shooter. And word Trix. And I do not know what this word means. But idea, is next, that your space ship – it is a triangle. And word TRIA I already use for another computer game. So, this is a new word that sounds like triangle. And element of science fiction. 80s. UFO. 8 bit computers.

Program part

Game is making with programming language QB64. And in main part - it is taken as a base – program code from game TRIA. Visual style – black and white game. Screen mode - screen 7. Resolution 320 x 200.

Screen mode gives ability to use 16 colors. But I want to make this game in black and white colors. Simple space shooter. With UFO sausages.

Development state

As a base it was taken a code from game TRIA. It is also a space shooter. And this game is more simple, by the way. Today, I already draw all game objects. There are few of them. 4 UFO sausages. 2 shots for UFO. Player - it is triangle. And his shooting. And 2 types of stars as a background.

It is programmed a movement of a background according algorithm. Background has different star intense. And speed of moving background. And it will be a void – where there is nothing at all at the background.

Everything else - it is to remade, re write part of code for this game, program main process. It is all ahead.

This game will be released in terms of new version Basic Pascal Pack games. This game and some more games will be in a new version Basic Pascal Pack. As soon as I will have several complete games. All of them will to be in a new version Basic Pascal Pack. And a new version Basic Pascal Pack will be published for download.
