I'm working on a simple space invaders clone to teach a workshop this october.

This is what I've got:

Alright, outstanding, @dani-0TB !

Yes indeed. The invaders do not descend a vertical row unless they are touching the left or right edge. So if you shoot a whole column in that area the invaders will not descend until the NEXT column touches there.

Also the original Space Invaders moves one invader at a time. It's pretty neat to watch when you look for it.

Gold star work !

This is strange, getting ready for bed. If you look at the post above and its date I did not just write 2-minutes ago. @zep, this is something to investigate. I've seen this strange phenomenon before.

These are very passive invaders - they don't fire back! But keep going developing this. It's a good start.

Although, maybe you should look at the link @dw817 provided and go for the "classic" invader sprites...

Yes for now it's what I've got, next step will be adding the barriers and then shooting. Maybe with some 2 hit system, so the red saucer kills you with one shot and the invaders with two.
