Random ShooterIntroduction This is the first release of a shoot em up game written in SDL. The objective is simple: you have 1 life and 1 hit will kill you. Try and destroy as many enemies as possible before this happens.News and Updates Until version 1.0 it is possible that replays from different versions may become incompatible with each other. 28th March 2008 - Version 0.4 is now available for download. Prebuilt now allow automatic uploading of high scores. You'll have to provide your own implementation if building from source though. 2nd March 2008 - Version 0.3 is now available for download. Prebuilt binaries are now available for download. The other changes are cosmetic, but it does mean that your replays will no longer work. 1st March 2008 - Version 0.2 is now available for download. The enemy bullets have changed colour to red to allow you to distinguish them from the coins. Each enemy you kill or coin you pick up will now display the points earned. Controls The default controls are the arrow keys to move around, left control to fire and P to pause. The controls are configurable.Scoring Each enemy that you destroy will earn you a small number of points. Some enemies will drop coins when they are destroyed, collecting these will earn you a lot more points, 5 times the number of points of a regular enemy. It is important to try and destroy as many enemies as possible, as each one that gets past you will dock your score, so not destroying any enemies for a considerable amount of time might reduce your score of tens of thousands back down to 0!Replays The game automatically stores replay files in the user's home directory under
~/.parallelrealities/randomshooter/replay00x.dat where x is the number of the replay. You can watch the replays off the command line by issuing the following command randomshooter -playback <location of replay file> Online Scores Online scores require a replay file to be valid. Once you have earned a highscore, zip up the replay file and upload it on this page. Provided it plays back correctly, your score will be added to the database.Screenshots
