25 Mar 2013 Matlab Space Invaders VideoGame A tribute to Space Invaders coded in Matlab. Just take fun and get ideas for more games. Author: Héctor Corte

Very cool game with an authentic retro feel. However I do have two complaints about it:

1. it may be a better idea not to write the code for keyboard handling in KeypressFcn. Because that way you would experience a delay (~0.5 s) after the first keypress. Instead, set a variable to true in KeypressFcn and false in KeyreleaseFcn, and check the status of this variable in the main loop to determine whether this key is pressed or not;

2. The bullets travel too fast. They usually go right through an enemy without hitting it. Possible solutions are 1) slowing down the bullets (less distance per frame, slower apparent speed), or 2) not slowing down the bullets, but increasing the frame rate(less distance per frame, same apparent speed), or 3) using better collision detection algorithm (same distance per frame, same apparent speed).

Anyway, I do like this game. Please keep writing more stuffs like this!

@Kozlov
Thank you for bringing this problem to my attention. I'll add the said feature as soon as possible.

Type

opengl software

before you run the game. If that solves the problem, then the most possible explanation of the upside-down text is that your OpenGL driver does not work properly with MATLAB. You must either upgrade your driver/card, or stick to the software renderer.

Alternatively, you can run

opengl hardware
f = figure(1); title('Rightside up'); set(f,'Renderer','OpenGL');

and see if the problem could be reproduced.

------------

Anyway, I do believe that a submission should be judged based on its overall quality instead of minor bugs that are not even caused by the program itself. So I would never rate until I truly understand what the program does, how to use the program and what causes the problems (if any). If you do find a bug in the program, a more constructive idea would be to report the bug with details so that the author could correct it, rather than leaving a bad remark that doesn't give much info.

Then again, I was just speaking from a developer's point of view; not even trying to change your style of criticism. do what you believe is correct.

steve:
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience but there IS a file named README.txt in the package, in which I explicitly stated
"!Run stl_StellariaMain to play!"

And may I ask you, please, read the manual before recklessly giving a low rating.

As for the upside-down text, I have never produced the same problem on all (10+) computers with different versions of MATLAB. I won't put too much hope on you but if you are still interested, please provide more details (your MATLAB/Win version, which text is upside-down, and so on) so I can fix the bug.
