RingVaders - A Retro Arcade Shooter written in Ring & RingAllegro

[Youssef Saeed]

Hello everyone,

I would like to share a new open-source game I have released called RingVaders.

It is a retro arcade shooter inspired by the classic Space Invaders, written entirely in Ring using the Ring Allegro library. It was a lot of fun to build, and I hope you enjoy playing it!



Key Features:

• Classic gameplay with modern effects (Parallax starfield, CRT scanlines).
• Boss battles every 5 waves.
• Combo system, Achievements, and Powerups.
• 3 difficulty levels.

How to Install:
You can easily install it using the Ring Package Manager (RingPM):

ringpm install RingVaders from ysdragon

Download & Source:

The project is open source (MIT License). You can find the source code and binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux here:
https://github.com/ysdragon/RingVaders

I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Feedback is welcome!

Best regards,
Youssef

Hello Youssef

Thanks for sharing the game
I was obsessed with it in the nineties and wanted to program it in 3D using the Raylib and I will do so in the future.

Hello Azzeddine,

You are very welcome!

I missed the nineties era myself, but I can certainly see why the game was an obsession back then. It is a true classic.

A 3D version in Ring Raylib sounds like a fantastic project. I would love to see it in the future!

Best regards,
Youssef
