Scolopendra is my hybrid version of Centipede & millipede. It has the good old centipede, backed up by slugs, spiders, wasps, butterflies, dragonflies and deadly exploding toadstools.

The object of this project was for me to learn more about pixel perfect collision detection, animation, music and mouse control. The initial game took a couple of days to knock together. It took a couple of months to animate, beautify and add the sounds and effects.

It features a little sound-track by DJ Keys, and sprites from Reiner's Tilesets.

Movement is controlled by the mouse.
Fire is the left mouse button or the space bar.

Um... what's in the zip? It is downloading now and I don't know if there's anything for my Mac.

...

Oh, there isn't.

Anyway the game looks interesting. It's like Apeiron on vintage mac, a great shooter game my wife loves!

Hey what's it like being married?

Err, yeah, I should have mentioned . The .zip contains the PC executable, images, sounds and a setting file.

Heh, funny you should mention that. I started off basing the graphics on those from Apeiron, but as I lack artistic talent, I used existing animated characters from Reiner's web site.

Well, a bit like that cute couple in your avatar.

After some time I can't edit this post but you can change avatar

A the benifits worth it?

Mark, what's with the couple in you avatar? And are they cuffs on the male?

Oh, and married life is pretty much like living together, except the out clause isn't as easy to invoke.

But I bet instantiating new objects became slightly easier.

nah, those are just sweat bands and wrist bands. Basically the story is that my avatar found a summer buddy. It's from this thread.

From what I can tell from our friends, they're also a lot more resource hungry.

I keep forgetting the northern hemisphere is moving into summer. The exact opposite to what we're getting.

Hold up. I'm assisting in the derailment of my own thread!
