AstroLander (YouTube video)

I like this slightly different take on the old lander-type game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FURYjCw45vw
A BB4W version of this 'mini-game' would be a fun little project, I reckon.
I'm tempted to give it a go myself, but what with time constraints...
(Of course, if I took on this project, those lines would have to be anti-aliased - no chunky lines!)
David.

Hi David (and everyone else),
OK, I took the bait. Here is a basic implementation of something like that.
I understand the original was controlled by a joystick:I've implemented it using a mouse. Move the mouse left or right to turn the angle of the lander, and press the left button to fire the engine.
Despite your comments about anti-aliased lines, I've deliberately gone for a retro look and feel, except for using Windows message boxes (they're too easy to ignore!). Of course, retro messages would be quite possible, too. Actually, it might be good, because Windows puts the message box not centred on the BB4W window, so I find my mouse gradually creeping left and down, out of the window.
At the moment there is only one difficulty, though it would be easy to add more (my reading suggests that it's essentially just a case of increasing gravity and thrust, effectively making everything happen faster).
I've only built 4 levels: How about everyone build one (it's fairly straightforward), and we'll have a mega game, instead of a mini one!
I haven't really tidied or annotated the code - it's still in development. If there's any demand for that I will.
Best wishes,
D

Thanks for "taking the bait", David!
It's very playable, and I completed all 4 levels. 
Yes, my mention of antialiased lines came about because I thought it would be nice to put my antialiasing line drawing routine to some use (although RTR's MMX-powered effort is probably at least twice as fast). Alternatively, I could use BB4W's 'native' graphics commands in conjunction with GfxLib's supersampling routine to achieve antialiased lines. In any case, it's all largely academic due to lack of time.
David.

Hi Folks,
OK, here is a version which is cleaned up and reasonably heavily annotated.
There are now 7 levels, the last of which is quite difficult - I usually finish it with 0 fuel! My current best score is 113,969.
I've added a custom "messagebox" routine to stop the mouse gradually creeping right across your desk - but you still have to be careful. I suggest NOT having the playing window over another window, which will pop in front (almost certainly causing you to crash!) if you accidentally click over it.
Because of all that annotation it now doesn't fit in one post, so the game is here and the levels are in the next post. Simply stick them on the end.
Best wishes,
D

...and here are the levels.
D
Code:
REM Here are the definitions for the different levels. Basically you need to define a landscape where Colour 7 defines things you can't hit
REM and Colour 2 defines the landing area(s). I've assumed that open space is black, but it doesn't need to be
REM - though you'll need to be careful with the flood fills if you draw in different colours!
REM I've used some different approaches to drawing the landscape - see what you like.

Some quick-fire suggestions:
* Turn off the flashing cursor
* Prevent the program window from being resized (an inadverent resizing of the window cost me a life!)
* Check for window focus; if your program hasn't got focus then go into a CPU-friendly spin loop/waiting state (admittedly my 'Asteroids' doesn't check for focus during the game).
I'll have a go at cracking all 7 levels later today.
David.

Hi All.
Just saw this post despite it being several months old.
I was big fan of 'Lunar Lander' (shows my age!) and really enjoyed this game.
Here's another level, tack it on to the existing program, don't forget to alter maxLevel% to 8 and add 'WHEN 8 PROCLevel8' to the CASE Level% OF conditional.
Code:
defprocLevel8
local x%,y%
local data
restore +1
data 0,850,20,840,15,32,490,142,1024,28,1230,234,308,416,312,452,1112,356,1054,506

cls
gcol 0,7
read x%,y%
move x%,y%
repeat

if x%=-1 exit repeat
draw x%,y%
until false
restore data
plot 141,10,10
gcol 0,2
TargetX%=892
TargetW%=120
rectangle fill TargetX%-TargetW%/2,854,TargetW%,8
pX=100
pY=2*yRes%-100
vX=0
vY=0
F=8000
endproc
The level is very tricky, it took me several dozen tries to complete it.
If anyone is interested I have a slightly modified version of the program which uses keyboard input and includes rotational inertia to make life a little more difficult.
All the best.
Joe.

Tricky is right! I've only managed to get about half way so far...  Thanks for putting it together.
Just a note for the unwary: you've used lower case keywords. If you want to add it to my code, you probably need to load mine, change to lower case keywords,and then add your section, and make the required changes to the CASE etc. - and then change back to upper case keywords if that's what you prefer (as I do).
I'd certainly be interested to see your modified version.
Best wishes,
D

Yes, tricky is the word! I got about 60 to 70% of the way on my first go (which was encouraging), but then I ran out of fuel (which was deflating).

Hi All.
I hope you are enjoying Level8. It can be done!
Here is my slightly modified version of the program, this time in uppercase keywords (apologies for previous, I tend to program in lowercase even though I know this is not good form).

And here are the levels...
If I can come up with more I will post as and when.
Code: (Levels)
REM Here are the definitions for the different levels. Basically you need to set up
REM a landscape where Colour 7 defines things you must not hit and Colour 2 defines
REM the landing area(s). I've assumed that open space is black, but it doesn't need
REM to be - though you'll need to be careful with the flood fills if you draw in
REM different colours!
REM I've used some different approaches to drawing the landscape - see what you like.
DEFPROCLevel1
LOCAL x,y
LOCAL DATA :REM Store the existing data pointer, so we can move it here
RESTORE +1 :REM Start reading data from the next line

DATA -1,-1
CLS
REM Absolute colour plotted - use colour 7 (grey by default, but you could change
REM that if you wanted a moon made of green cheese...)
GCOL 0,7
READ x,y
MOVE x,y
REM Rather than a whole string of draw commands, read and plot them in a loop
REPEAT
READ x,y
IF x=-1 EXIT REPEAT
DRAW x,y
UNTIL FALSE
RESTORE DATA :REM Put the old data pointer back in place
PLOT 141,10,10 :REM Flood fill
REM Change to colour 2 to indicate landing pad - again you could reprogram
REM colour 2 if you wanted to (for example, if you made colour 7 into green...)
GCOL 0,2
REM Define pad location and width - needed elsewhere to calculate score,
REM which depends on how close you are to the centre
padX=700
padW=160
RECTANGLE FILL padX-padW/2,32,160,8
REM Set initial coordinates of the lander, and its velocity vectors
ship.loc.x=100

Oops! I should tell you the keyboard controls!
'Z' = rotate left
'X' = rotate right
'/' = thrust
