Version:Size:
A Space Invaders clone. Invaders have come from space, you must shoot them down with your trusty laser canon. Fortunately they only move left and right in a grid formation. Unfortunately, they get faster the fewer there are. How long can you survive.

Instructions:

Use Left and Right to move Left and Right. Press A to fire your laser canon. You win the level when you destroy all of the invaders. Shoot the bonus rat for extra points. You lose when the invaders either shoot you, or reach the bottom of the screen.

Did you actually program them getting faster the fewer they are? Or did you purposely make them take enough ram so they they speed up do to more free ram?

I increased their speed on purpose and increased the drum beat tempo too.

If he purposely made them take RAM, wouldn't that make the player slow too?

Yes, in the original space invaders arcade the invaders sped up as their ranks decreased because the CPU just had more free processor cycles. Technically it is a bug, but the developer thought it added to the game and left it in. My program has them speed up as their rank decreases too, not because of reduced CPU or memory use, just because I told them to as I wanted to emulate the original.
