Hi all,

Are you interested in making a miniature (2 line) space invader?

I've been toying with a terminal [*] version of a space invaders game.
The one invader I've drawn so far is:

  frame 1     frame 2

   <><>        <><>
    `'         '  `

The invaders are animated, so each one will need 2 frames at least
(I'm open to up to 4, but will make no promises to use that many
frames).  Nor do I promise to use all ideas, only to credit the ones I
use.

The original space invaders had 3 invaders (2 frames each) and a
mother ship.  I have not made any decisions on how many invaders I
want.  I do have block doodles of the original invaders, but those
seem to hinder more than help, to come up with ideas.


Johann

[*] Dos window, for some of you.
