About

Space Invaders is Tomohiro Nishikado's 1978 fixed-shooter arcade game for Taito, in which a horizontally moving laser cannon defends against waves of descending aliens that also drop bombs. Space Invaders Clone is a terminal-based recreation of the 1978 arcade game, written in C with the Ncurses library and rendered entirely in ASCII graphics within the shell. The author describes it as their first-ever game, made around 2005, and notes it may contain rough or dated code from that early stage of their programming career.

Getting started

The game runs entirely in a terminal, using ASCII characters for graphics; it includes a menu that lets the player adjust the overall game speed and the relative speeds of individual elements before playing.

History

The author made this as their first game around 2005, early in their programming career.
