SCB Net ForumsBug Bomber- Version 1.0
While at Antelope Valley College I attended a Visual Basic class (easy A!). Toward the end of the semester we were given an assignment to create a simple drag and drop program. Well, that sounded boring so I though I would spice up the project a little. The result was this game: Bug Bomber. It is a very simple game where you click on the bomb icon and drag it around over all of the bugs and other stuff that move towards you. My instructor didn't seem to notice that I ignored half of the assignment (I have the drag, but not the drop!) and gave me an A anyways because I went overboard.

Version 1.0 by Steven C. Brown. Compiled on August 26th, 2003.Game Overview: The game is very simple. Click on the bomb icon and drag it on top of all of the bugs and creatures that are moving towards you (the stick figure on the left). If anything reaches the left side of the screen (even if it's just above you) you lose. When the timer reaches zero a new level begins. The first few levels introduce new creatures but after that the only difference between the levels is that the creatures move faster. There are an unlimited number of levels but after awhile it will become physically impossible to keep up with everything. Every 10th level features a boss battle. The boss is a unique creature that drops bombs that move towards you. It takes dragging your bomb over the boss several times in order to kill it. The number of boss creatures that appear is proportional to the level. At level 10, 1 boss appears. At level 50, 5 bosses appear. The game keeps track of the players who make it the farthest into the game. There is also a cheat function that lets you go as far as level 99 (an impossible level). |
Creatures:
Bug A simple land bug that walks towards you. |
Fly A flying bug that floats up and down as it flies towards you. |
Cloud Clouds slowly float towards you at the top of the screen. They also occasionally
drop Bugs and may launch Flies at you. |
Boss   Bosses
appear every 10th level. They move around the screen erratically and drop lots of Bombs that move towards you. Bosses themselves
do not move all the way left unless pushed by the players' bomb. Bosses start out green and turn yellow and then red as they take
more damage. |
Bomb Bombs are dropped from Bosses. After reaching the ground they move very much
like Bugs. |
