| Description |
This example is for of the CleverCoder challenge #19. The challenge was to create a space invader styles game, but limited the number of aliens to one.
The code is bit long that need be really, as the code draws simple polygons to shape to represent the Alien / Player & Bullets. The polygons are then merged to shapes for collision detection between the various character types. I've tried to divide everything into groups of functions to separate everything as much as possible. Which in turn creates a little extra code, but is less error prone in longer projects.
I've included two versions of the code, one is for the users using PlayBasic V1.63 Learning Edition, the other is for V1.64 retail users. The V1.64 version just takes advantage of some of the new compiler and graphics features found in retail editions, such as math operators and VSync support. |

| Description |
YAAC is more an Asteroids framework than a complete game. While it does include the basic player mechanics (controls, firing & collisions) as well as the asteroids controller code. It's not really tweaked up, It feel's ok, but the player is easily overwhelmed... 
Visually, the game uses additive effects on all items combined with buffer depreciation, which gives the trialing effect. Which have become common place in modern 'vector' games.
The objective of the demo is really to help Beta test the PlayBasic V1.64k, as such the code uses a number of new features found only in that update..

| Description |
This example creates a custom file dialog/file requester for use in your PlayBasic programs. It was originally written for friends map editor project about 7/8 years ago in another language. Then was later on updated for PB. Those with long memories will no doubt remember it being part of the original example pack. This version is basically the same, except for a few minor improvements. |

| Description |
This example demo's a platform game control system with acceleration, jumping, falling and collision. The collision is really the only interesting part, since it's using a 2 colour image for the collision environment. |
