I've done a rough conversion of Space Invaders to the Colour Maximite 2.
(not the Colour Invaders version with coloured sprites for aliens)

invaders-CMM2.zip

I've only set the font in one place, but it lets you see the aliens.

I've added controller support using my controllers library.

I've changed the movement keys from inkey$ to keydown, but it should be easy to change back if you are using a terminal. (search for keydown in the code)

The sound's kind of off, and I'm not sure if the dark blue colour I see is right.

I might do some more controller testing with it, but I've probably done all the porting work on it I'm going to. Others are welcome to improve it and fix bugs.

Thanks to TassyJim for the font files.

mcclout999, were you still looking at converting colour invaders? That would be good to see on the CMM2

Yah I think is was not clear because I brought up 2 issues when I was mostly interested in why so many of the programs for the CMM1 error out saying you have exceeded the number of sprites. I look at the spr file they are trying to load and it seems like there are less than 64 in the file. I am not sure what is happening there and because I was getting that error I was asking if there where different max # of sprints. I want to understand how I can fix the games when I get one of those errors.

Give us a clue.
What program are to have trouble with?
Pick one, preferably not too big and start with it.

Jim

A game of Space invaders �File name Col_inv.bas

The error it throws is [40] Error: Maximum of 64 sprites
I got it somewhere I can't tell you where. When I come across any more gain(now I cant find them. �I have literally downloaded every MMbasic code I have found and I search high and low.

Pretty fun to play! The sound for the invaders moving was a little annoying... so I made a small adjustment...

dim integer sfx = 300

'General game loop
Do While 1
'check if we draw a new level
If NextLevel = 1 Then GoSub DrawNextLevel
'check if we have to move the Invaders
If Counter1 >= InvInterval Then

play tone sfx,50
pause(50) 'remove pause and play stop if you want smooth tone transitions
play stop 'rather than "classic" invaders dub- dub- dub- dub-..

Timer = 0

sfx = sfx - 50
if sfx <= 100 then
sfx = 300
end if

GoSub MoveInvaders

I couldn't hear the sine waves very well on my speaker so I changed them to square waves using play sound, and they all needed pause and play stop, so I put it in a function.

invaders3.bas in the zip file.
