In the year 1985-95 , a typical computer had very limited resource bearing capabilities.A typical computer
had RAM 640 KB.At that time,any video game would be
a blessing.Graphics quality and sound enhancements scope were limited.Games were still many to
attract the audience of young kids as advent of personal
computers was just recent on doors of a common man.
I was one of those kids who saw that time,cherished that time.One of which remained in my memories is
'Paratrooper' developed by Greg Kupesberg.
I have written about him in very first title screen.
This game remains in my memory forever.I remember ,being a kid i asked my father , "Dad will i develop
this game ever ?".He said 'Yes,you will'.I did that today.
About me
--------------Basically,if you call me a video game developer or video gamer,this will be entirely wrong.My profession is
however IT, but my area of expertise in primarily in
SAP and Java.I took this as an opportunity to fullfill my dream as well as tried to clear my concepts in
multithreading.I feel there is still lot more to do though.
Anyone who want to know personally about me may contact me at my email id.

About Experiences with development

------------------------------------------------------Lots of experiences exists right now,some bitter enough to make my head juggling whole night thinking
how to move helicopters move together left/right.
Then together left and right.Further how to free as much resources as possible in play mode so CPU
doesnot create resource allocation issues.
The most bitter experience was moving of helicopters and making bombs fall top from jet.It really made
me a mathematician!!.
Limitations
-----------------------------Sound makes the game little slow and synchronous. I will be addressing this issue soon and will rectify in
next version as this is not a stopper for the time being
and performance is in acceptable limit.Further it will work well only in 1024 x 768 .In small
resolutions,there is much less fun so i took this fixed.
KeyBoard Controls
--------------------------------> Move turret right
<--- Move turret left
UP arrow key Fire
A Increase turret speed
Z
Decrease turret speed

Mission
-----------You have to fire helicopters and parachutes falling.At the same time make sure that six to seven
paratroopers are not able to make land successfully.Otherwise they will overpower your defenses.Beware
of jets as every jet has a deadly aim.
Tip: You can increase/decrease your turret speed to fight well.
Scoring
----------+5 - kill helicopter /jet
+10 - kill paratrooper
+100 - cut jet bomb

-------------- Thats All Folks !!
