I remember playing this with my brother on my grandpa's DOS computer!
After playing for hours our favorite cheat became flinging the bananas straight through the buildings at the highest speed possible. I love that this game recreates even that loophole.
Awww.. thank you for that lovely comment. 😊 Love hearing other people's memories of this classic game. Glad it helped you take a trip down memory lane! 🤓
Alas, while I made the update code twice the rate (60fps) of the draw code (30fps), it can still "miss" detecting the gorilla. 😇 If I had more space left (of the 1KB code!), I prob would've gone with a distance check, but I liked the idea (+potential pixel-perfect precision/fairness) of doing checking on screen colour. My only suggestion when that happens would be to try to tweak the power/angle *fractionally* and hopefully it'll make contact 😉

I loved, Paul! I have played this game a lot when I was a child. Great job!
Thank you very much for the kind words, Lucas.
Glad I could bring back some memories of "simpler" times 😊
*happy gorilla noises*

Well done! You've built a tiny time machine!

Qbasic gorillas take me back to the nineties, learning to program in Logo Writer
Bananas can fly through the gorillas...

Qbasic Gorillas was the first video game I ever played. Thank you for making this.
