Don Llopis dllopi01@fiu.edu http://www.fiu.edu/~dllopi01 History: ======== 1.31: Fixed drawing order. Objects were being drawn in reverse. 1.3: Many thanks to Thomas Boutell, he has contributed a Windows port of XInvaders 3D. See README.win for more information. XInvaders 3D DOS port finished. XInvaders 3D will now run as a full-screen 640x480x8 DOS game. For windows users it will run in a DOS window just fine. I used DJGPP+Allegro to port it. See README.dos for more information. Added Vector-fonts. All text graphics have been replaced with Vector-fonts. Gives the game a cleaner look. New player blinking routine. Player now cycles through red colors, rather than being drawn each alternate frame, when a new level has been started. New special effect: 1-UP indicator. When 7500pts have been reached a new life is indicated by a nice little vector 1-UP floating towards the player. New alien-shoot missile routine. Aliens now shoot more. New Distance-of-Point-to-Line routine, used for collision detection. Added fix for FreeBSD systems, thanks to Peter da Silva. Fixed ZONE_HEIGHT bug in game.c, which was generating bad pointers, thanks to Sam Bushell. Cleaned up code, for portability reasons, thanks to Thomas Boutell for his help. Left-Shift key is no longer being used. 1.2: Cleaned up some more code. Adjusted formation movement. Changed missile color to yellow, suggested by Mattia Engdeg. Fixed some warnings which the pedantic flag generates, thanks to Jarmo Pussinen for pointing them out. 1.1: Fixed incompatible pointer warnings. Fixed window manager bug which Bill Kendrick pointed out. Windows were opening at an odd width and height under the Enlightenment Window manager. 1.0: Initial release.
