Desktop Invaders
by Ian Wilson

This is a Wimp based version of the Space Invaders arcade game.

When run, the program adds an icon to the icon bar. Clicking Select on this icon opens the program window. Clicking Menu over the icon bar icon displays a menu containing the usual Info and Quit options, as well as a New game option.

Clicking Menu over any part of the program window except the bar at the bottom displays a menu containing the options Play, Stop and New game. Choosing Play starts the game, while choosing Stop pauses it. Choosing New game resets the game to the beginning of level 1. Closing the program window at any time pauses the game in the same manner as choosing Stop.

The game itself is played by placing the mouse pointer over the bar at the bottom of the program window. While the pointer remains there, the base is controlled by the mouse buttons; Select moves left, Adjust moves right and Menu fires. The game play is very similar to the original arcade game.
