(About the author)
 
     A very cool VB space simulation game. This project is for everyone that claims VB can't be used as a game engine. Using home-made buffering methods, I re-wrote the Raptor game engine in VB. Your ship shoots, the bad guys shoot, ships explode, music is played (mp3 format) - this engine has everything. If you've liked the little arcade games people have posted (pong, etc.), you'll be blown away by this full-scale game using hundreds of blits simultaneously. Everything you need is included (including the ocx for playing mp3's), and the code is very concise, clever, and fast. One thing - it's not quite commented fully and the user interface needs some work. I had to rush and finish it for a school project, so there is much left to be done. I am looking for someone to do custom graphics (I am using the ones from Raptor for now) and I will revamp the game to be entirely like Raptor (level editors, weapon upgrades, etc.) for commercial distribution. Contact me (tannerhelland@hotmail.com) if interested. BTW - use the arrow keys to move and the space bar to shoot.

The code in question was a special 
"addition" to my presentation at school 
of my final project.  It's commented 
out here, but basically it installed 
Doom onto my teacher's machine and made 
the machine boot up to it...several 
hundred times.  A good joke, and I 
didn't even realize that it was still 
in there.  I've uploaded a new version 
without that - sorry for any problems 
it might have caused.

I read your comment and admit I haven't 
downlaoded this one yet. I was just 
thinking, if you "revamp it to be 
entirely like raptor" wouldn't that be 
a waste of your time? I think you 
should revamp it like raptor and make 
it better than raptor, In response to 
the other message about the cheat menu 
- if you absolutely MUST have cheats, 
make them yourself, I admit in every 
game I make there are cheats to get 
further ahead but I made them only for 
testing on the winning sequence. Thanks

To make it better then Raptor, you must 
first make it at least as good as 
Raptor :)

Cheats suck and shouldn't even be 
included in the final version of a 
program.  It defeats the entire purpose 
of writing a game if you allow the user 
to bypass all of your code just to see 
the ending.

I hate games that mess with my screen 
settings and don't return them to their 
original settings.

Looks like a cool game, but with the 
creats, you should have the cheats only 
avaliable when the user completes the 
game of a level, or gets a high score 
or something! Anyway, this looks great! 
Voted Excelent!

How you get raptor graphics? Can you 
send me sprites and backgroud?
You can 
see something of mine at source 
planet.
Thank you, hope to hear you

Most gamers play the game without 
cheats, only the pathetic ones will use 
cheats, I know a lot of gamers that 
don't use cheats at all, even after 
finishing the game.
With the 
settings, it shouldn't be hard to fix 
it so on Form_Unload it returns the 
settings to normal.
