Small Basic Game Programming – Bowling Game

I wrote a bowling game program for Challenge of the Month – March 2017.  So, today, I’d like to introduce how to write a bowling game in Small Basic.

Create Images

At first, I made two images – pin and ball.  I drew them with PowerPoint shapes, grouped them and saved as picture files.

Draw Rough Game Scene

Secondly, I wrote a simple program to draw bowling graphics.  The first program is GRT732.  Pins are drawn with Shapes object, and others are drawn with GraphicsWindow object.

Write Animation Code

Then I wrote animation code for a ball and pins.  The final animation program is GRT732-2.  For pins animation, I changed to use Shapes object of the wall.  Hit arrow keys to throw the ball.

Merge Code to Score

The other hand, once I’ve written a program VCR160 to calculate bowling score for Challenge of the Month – December 2014.  So, I merge the code of scoring to the current bowling game.  The program ID is GRT732-3.
