Space Fight! first week!

Space Fight! was launched last Thursday and it has done fairly well for being a multiplayer only game to start PLUS requiring special hardware for the full 4 player experience. Over 208 downloads between itch and the csdb "crack" that for the most part just includes the manual in the prg file

So I know I said I was going to take it easy until the fall but about an hour ago I decided to tinker with trying to make an AI player. Didn't take long, the routine was 40 lines of pascal first attempt.....I got annihilated 8-0...and again 9-1...whoops!

I added some human like delays to the responses and I beat it 5-4 and tied 5-5 and the routine is now 57 lines. Much better. In any case if I can flesh this out a bit more I may do an update release that has single player and that will appeal to the broader Commodore 64 audience and perhaps if they see the insanity of this in a simulated multi player fashion that will encourage them to get their buddies together for the real deal as I intended!

Stay Tuned!
