Space Impact - knock off
-
A little game I started on. It's far from done, but you get the point ;)

Pretty cool! Actually, it's quite similar to something I've written a while ago:

(also not quite finished and the code is a bit chaotic, but playable)

@omz Nice! I like the fact that they shoot back at you. The collision detection was pretty clever. The way I handled collisions was kind of buggy.
@Comicbookfreak Thanks man!

@Jaymerica You're right. It's briefly mentioned in the <a href="http://omz-software.com/pythonista/docs/ios/scene.html#scene.Point">reference for the Point class</a>, but that's admittedly very easy to miss. There isn't much support for other "magic" methods beyond that. The in operator also works for two Rects, but that's pretty much it.

I was browsing the forums and then I came across this post. This is a really cool program! I love the aliens :D
I did change one thing though. The program had the highscore saved to "Saves/spaceimpact_highscore.txt", which causes an error (along the lines of this path is not defined). I changed it to "spaceimpact_highscore". Now my question is how do I view files such as the one I just mentioned.... Back to exploring the forums and site. After another round of this game of course!

Hmmmm... After playing again I realized that my "fix" might have backfired. No highscore pops up when I play the game, but maybe that is normal?
EDIT: the score does display when I beat the highscore
EDIT: Well, it wasn't programmed into the game, hence the reason the score would display. Altered the code a bit and, if the author wishes, can supply it. It isn't too hard though :P
