Old invader game - Steffan-68 - 08-10-2023
I found an old Invader game. It was written in QBasic.
It's from 1997 and the author is Tim Truman.
I tried to get it working on QB64.
It also worked to some extent.
There is still a problem in the 'SUB FadePal', which I only fixed once by commenting out, but it still has to be done properly.
Also, I can't get the sound from the SFX file to work.
The controls were (is) CTRL + ALT + Space, which I didn't like that much. That's why I added the arrow keys.
It's actually going pretty well now.
Hope someone likes it here. It's old and I've seen others here, some of which are very nice, but I don't think this work should be lost either, because it's very well done.
I packed all the necessary files in the ZIP file.
QBINVADE-Original.BAS is the original file, the other BAS files have already been edited by me.

Wiping the dust off historical works and acknowledging pioneers, I love that kind of stuff.
Kudos!

That last picture looks like a clone of the Atari 2600 version.

That may be .
Quoting from the description:
QBInvaders - Space Invaders Clone programmed in QBasic by Tim Truman
* ================================================= ===========================
* The classic arcade action game Space Invaders. save humanity
* from the disgusting alien spaceships who want to conquer the earth. the great
* Graphics are largely borrowed from an old Atari game and are frantic
* fast animated. Great sound effects from the sound card (Adlib sound).
* It's hard to believe that something like this is possible with QBasic!!
Unfortunately I haven't managed to get the sound file to work yet.
The PC sound is fine.
If the program runs in DOS (with D-Fend Reloaded Dos Emulator) the sound sounds somehow better.
RE: Old invader game - mnrvovrfc - 08-10-2023
The "SFX" thing could require the talents of Mr. Serious, a.k.a. a740g around these parts...
But that's only to set it into _SNDRAW and other joint of QB64 Phoenix Edition.
Otherwise it deserves some time to check it out. The Atari2600 version of the game only did crushing white noise most of the time. Sort of a bass sound when the player's ship was hit by an alien missile or when the aliens landed. The sounds are better done by an analog than an FM synthesizer.
I loaded the SFX file into Schism Tracker but it does a "constant" complex tone. If the format is known for the "chip set" then it could be loaded into Furnace. It might not be the default "chip set" which is close to that found in Sound Blaster. One good thing about being able to load like this is that it could be exported to WAV and then this WAV could be chopped into individual sounds to play back with _SNDPLAY.
RE: Old invader game - TerryRitchie - 08-10-2023
The SFX file appears to be a series of 26 text lines that are loaded into the program. From there the hex values are decoded and sent to the AdLib registers through the use of the Playsfx() subroutine. Some old AdLib documentation would be needed to decode what these values are doing to the registers.
RE: Old invader game - Steffan-68 - 08-15-2023
I played around with the program a bit. The SUB 'FadePal' seems to work now.
Looks a little different than playing the original in DOS.
I haven't found a solution for the ADLIB sound.
So I changed the original to play all the sounds in a row with a 2 second pause.
Run the program in the DOSBOX and record the sound in Windows at the same time.
Then everything is broken down into small sounds (OGG) and added back to the top of the game.
In the ZIP file I have added the sounds and the include files.

RE: Old invader game - grymmjack - 08-16-2023
This is a great share. Thanks @Steffan-68!
Wow, I'll try to compile the sound one. it's taking a while. 48% for a few minutes now
RE: Old invader game - grymmjack - 08-16-2023
What are these different filetypes?
.SCR ?
.FNT ?
.SFX ?
.SPR ?
Wow I found a treasure trove of stuff in this Anotonis.de:
https://www-antonis-de.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US
RE: Old invader game - mnrvovrfc - 08-16-2023
File types self-styled for a 16-bit program. Have to study the source code to know precisely how a file type goes.
.SPR is a sprite. Likely this could be replicated into DATA statements with simple hexadecimal numbers, or like what the TheBob did. LOL.
.FNT is a font.
.SFX is a sound to be loaded into the Sound Blaster FM chip or alike hardware.
.SCR is probably a BSAVE screen image or something analogous to a BMP or PCX or something else.
