Did not like key action in Bandit so I tried a Keypad setup and got bonus of arrow keys working too

???

Not in the least! That is just a space filling pattern with 0 user input.

I have an version of almost xonix with a stalker

it's easy to make multiple stalkers aiming for a hero

but how to make a hero
exactly running away from several stalkers

[bplus]

Odd, every once in a while Doom fails to move towards Hero.

Quiz for day: why?

Fixed I think and added another loop with High Score Tracker:

It's actually called "Robotwar" and there are many versions of it. I played a "cute" version of it on Linux, last tried it on Knoppix but alas, sometimes it crashes back to desktop when I start a new game. IINM there was even a text-mode version which was one of the old "BSD games" that could be optionally installed for Slackware.

I have programmed such a game but it's not very good. I have it in my archives somewhere...

Anyway, my game was trying to replicate one from an old book given to children programming on an Apple ][E or something like that. It had only one player and one enemy, and the logic of the enemy to move toward the player got better the more the player "stole" from the enemy. In fact the original program didn't have a "Robotwar-like" fence, it had an "exit" that the player tried to run into, after he/she felt "stealing" enough before the enemy caught him/her.

nice, but lets see something not given to children

Sorry but I'm not going to click an "HTTP" link for a site found in Eastern Europe. Not being homophobic or anything like that. Please upload the GIF into this site if you can.

Aha! Danilin has mod the Hero into a Rabbit bouncing to and fro into prize.
