Falcon 9 Landing Game

[RhoSigma]

I wanted to create an example program for lesson 18 of my tutorial that encompassed everything covered up to that point. What was supposed to be a simple demo ended up becoming an entire game. It's not very polished as I only spent a few days on it but it's good enough for the tutorial.

Use your arrow keys to maneuver the Falcon 9 stage 1 booster to a smooth landing:

UP ARROW - main thrust
RIGHT ARROW - side thrust left
LEFT ARROW - side thrust right

I made a pretty epic intro sequence for it as well that lasts 1:30. After watching it the first time you can simply press a key to skip it each time you run the program.

Simply put the files into your QB64 (or QB64pe) folder and run Falcon9.BAS. The included Falcon9.ZIP file contains everything you need.

Nice appearance, but (for me at least) not playable. Guess I just ruined Elon, crashing 100 of his rockets.
