Fun small game, hooks you up quite good It reminds me of a game back in the 80''s we used to play on my friends Commodore 64. Could it have been Nebuloids?

Anyhow, only 8 movement directions is a bit limiting. Could you work it up to at least 16 possibly even 32? That way there wouldn''t be so big gaps where you can''t fire. If you are worried about loading that many bitmaps in an applet you could load just one bitmap and then rotate it programmatically to get the other directions.

Well it does show that I used to be a C=64 and Amiga coder....

Quite a few people ahs said "It''s just like an amiga game"!

Makes me feel warm and guiy inside!

I thought about the rotation thing and thought nah.... I do auto rotate 90/180/270 already and considering all of the graphics including the data files take up less than 35k and decompress to over 2.4m I think I have done well enough in that region!

And developing eldian has taken over 4 years (the game editor)

I am currently looking into doing my own blitting routines with real time effects (hence check out The Chaoslab and rotation would definately be part of it

And then I will code a 3d routine so I can Chaoslab textures real time in 3D.... Hmmmmmm brain toast!
