This is my implementation of the classical Daleks game that came with each
Mac plus and Mac II (late eighties to early nineties). It is the first
program I wrote in Java, in 1998.
The purpose of the game is to kill as many Daleks as possible without
being killed first. You can kill them by shooting them with your sonic
screwdriver or by letting them smash against each other. If you manage
to kill all the Daleks, a new round with more of them starts.
You can move yourself around one step at the time by clicking
on the arrows or hold your position by clicking on Dr. Who's head
(actually, an Elvis Presley's head, because I found it nicer). You can
also jump to a random position by clicking on the button "teleport" but
watch out: you might land just beside a Dalek. The Daleks keep coming at
you after each move/click. Be warned: you can only shoot once every
round. When you die (and die you will!), the number of Daleks you have
killed will appear in the middle of the playing field.
Click on last stand when you see that all the Daleks are going to collapse
into each other. Please note that a new game is started when you click
on the Daleks tab. That is, you cannot go away visiting the website and
expect to continue your Daleks game when you come back.
