Starfield

File: Zip archive, 2.71Kb (download)
Contents: Java and image source, HTML wrapper

Probably the first game anyone ever programmed on their ZX81, Spectrum, Oric or BBC Micro, now available as an (badly written) Java applet -- what amazes me is that something that took six lines in BASIC needs over two hundred in Java.
Use the left and right cursor keys to avoid the meteors; press Enter or click in the applet to restart if you can't wait 10 seconds.

Contract Bridge Scoresheet
