Hindenburg Defender v 0.85








Hi there!

A rift in the time space continium caused Hindenburg to be filled with Helium instead of Hydrogen... So time and space tries to correct it's mistake by sending an army of unlikely kamikaze planes to bring it down. Fortunately you "The Red Baron" is protecting Hindenburg.

This is a classic sidescroller shoother in Excel made with VBA. There's currently 2 bosses in there game that spawns after 20 planes or so. Between bosses there are small airplanes you need to shoot down.
The goal of the game is to defend Hindenburg from other airplanes that try and crash into it, or the bosses who tries to blow it up with rockets and stones.
It's made for Excel 2007 and I can almost guarentee you it wont work in any other Excel at the moment.

This has been a very fun prodject, and I have found many crappy perfomance problems in Excel thanks to this prodject. Mainly cause of cut and paste operations. The biggest lesson from this prodject is probably that next time i will make a buffer sheet to enhance performance.

The consept is that every piece of graphics is saved as a range object then copy/paste-destination to active range. Active range is determined by the arrow keys (Player input). If something crashes into Hindenburg then it gets destroyed. Hindenburg has 3 lives.
