Changing Scale

As a result of all the different screen sizes that can occur when using windows, Winvade has the facility that allows you to change the size of the window. You can scale the window up to 4 times, by selecting Options|Scale from the menu, and by then choosing the scale you require.

WARNING : As the window grows larger it will take longer for windows to draw the images. As a result, slow systems, less than a fast 386DX, may have performance problems when the screen is scaled. Try it and find out?


Changing Craft

Unlike the standard space invaders, Winvade gives you the choice of the types of invaders you are fighting against. By selecting Options|Craft from the menu, you can select the types of craft you want to use.

Currently Winvade has three different craft types

Classic

Modern

Microsoft


Invasion waves
Waves

The game is broken up into 4 Waves, each containing 3 levels. At each level the invaders get progressively lower. At the start of each wave the invaders move back up to the top of the screen. The 4 waves have the following features..

Wave 1	Invaders do not fire at you

Wave 2	Invaders fire at a low rate

Wave 3	Invaders fire at a medium rate

Wave 4	Invaders fire at a high rate

You can set which wave you want to start on by selecting the Wave menu option, and choosing the wave number you want to start on. For each wave the mother ship is worth more points. See Scores


Scores

The following shows how the scores are calculated in Winvade.

Each invader	add 10 points

Mother ship	add 100 points x Wave

Completed level	add 50 points x (Wave x 3 + Level)

You get an extra Canon at 5000 points and another every 10000 points after that.


Classic

Standard monochrome space invader characters similar to the original arcade game.


Modern

Full colour invaders.


Microsoft

Defend poor old IBM from the onslat of Microsoft and its family of invaders, Execlitor, Wordian, and of-course Winvade. Watch out for Bill, he's worth big points!

OR....

Watch Microsoft kick the crap out of IBM.

(Depends on who's side your on :-)
