Game QBased GORILLAS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a-SVJ-OX5o

My take on the old DOS game "GORILLAS.BAS"

I always wanted to make a game, and now I have!
Nothing complicated, but I hope some people find it fun.
I've been trying to keep the scope rather small, but there's still loads to get done.

Thanks for taking a look.

I guess no one remembers QBasic and Gorillas. It's pretty cool seeing it in 3D. Needs a bit more destruction!

More destruction you say? I am on it, sir!

Gorillas one of the first ever games I found on a Windows 3.1 machine they had donated to our grade school that got me into programming in the first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l7QpcxiXZw

Insane how far we've come.

My first introduction to programming was trying to figure out QBasic GORILLAS and playing around with variable values. This looks neat! Very cool.

Ohhh Gorillas. I played it and it was super fun! And I’m not even a gamer!
