The only difference between the controllable character and the enemies is that the player character's actions are defined by your keyboard input, and the enemies move random distances in random directions and attack randomly. (also, the player character can only shoot fireballs with full health)
There are 5 types of enemies:
The Snake: Beware of the boulders he launches!
The Poo-Monster: His bile will burn you!
The Archer: Master of archery
The Blinking Eye: His icky eye-gunk will make you ill
The Grub: 40 in hand, he shows his disrespect for your mad skill by spitting on you!
Zelduh has somehow gotten trapped among these fiends... You must save her!
The game project is called "neo hardcore warrior" which was my generic title when I started, and the level editor project is called "legend of nameless" since I still wasn't sure what to call it at the time =P
Here is the game and source code on the Lost Side Dead website.
Legend of Zelduh

A great piece of programming Ive seen
here, The roots of this style of
programming have alot of potential for
being very organized and efficient
style of coding. This style will show
its good side when this persons
programs become larger in size.
Excellent work!

Great game joseph. Although I would
have to disagree with Neeko. If this
were a much bigger project I think it
may be harder to manage let alone
maintain. There are magic numbers
everywhere (which can become a true
nightmare on so many levels) and you
are performing no error checks on your
DirectDraw functions and method calls.
At the very least you should check for
a return of DD_OK. DirectX can become
extremely irritable on some machines. I
also believe that no matter how small
your classes are, you should always
separate the declaration from the
definition. i.e. ( declarations should
go into a separate .h file, and
definitions should into an
implementation file .cpp ). I am going
to kick myself later because I know at
times I should be taking my own advice.
This is just my experience from working
on several large projects. I hope I did
not offend anybody. It really is a cool
game.

It's cool man, that's good advice.
I
was planning on tailoring my code
nicely once I fleshed out the majority
of the game, but I decided not to in
the end because of time issues...
If
I was worried about making excuses for
poor programming practice, I wouldn't
have submitted this program in this
state. Thanks for your comments though
=)

i really like the level editor. it
works swell.

Heck yeah, be sure to play around with
monster placement. It's fun to put
down huge mobs of monsters in tight
areas =D

Great game Joeseph! The Level editor
rules! The code is nicely written as
well. The enemies are humorous and
nicely drawn. I especially like the
poo monster and archer!

A friend of mine most of the sprites.
Their names are mentioned in the "Game
Instructions" word file included with
the code. Don't forget to vote
people!!!!!!

this
LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE7
Could u
please tell me how i can run
it???
thanks

perhaps you don't have the direct x SDK
installed in the same place that I
did.
First of all, do you have
direct 7 or higher?
