*  This software works on Excel 97 and 2000. 
   I was absorbed in video game named *the space invader*  when I was a schoolchild. 
   I would like to reproduce that on Excel. I've held the thought from two years before, 
   and finally...It's realized.

   All actions are expressed by rewriting of a cell background color. 
   Each one of cells as a dot, and move it by make cell's background color high-speed rewriting. 
   Although I did not think it's possiblele, but now it's possiblele by the favor of the 
   improvement in a performance of a personal computer.  
   The window zoom is 10%, so the each cell can not be seen. But it is A CELL. 

   I'm very happy if you feel Excel & VBA has an infinite possibility!
   For all I know, It must be meaningful that makes the program works on Excel!!

*  How to play
   To play the game, click the "START" button. 
   If you would like to make self-launcher move, press left or right arrow key.
   To discharge missile, press "Z" key.
   It is proportionate to originals, such as a bonus of a self-launcher, and 300-point UFO. 
   Please also try the Nagoya-uchi(shoothing method) and a rainbow.

*  OPTION
   Many things can be set up as you like.

*  History
   Ver163 First edition 

*  Others
   This program is distributed as FREEWARE. If you would like to Re-distribution or Reproduction,
   please let me know.
   About any damage generated by having used this software, the authors shall not take any responsibility.

* The meaning of Excel for this soft
  To blow up barricade, conditional formatting is used. If Excel has not the function, it was not able to be done.
  It was the moment the worksheet united with VBA.


* Reflection
  The exploded of enemy shells has been excluded. And I guess regard the discharge routine of 
  enemy shells as far from original. (Regularity has not been held) It is a future subject fo rme.

* Wish from the auther
  On my environment (Crusoe876MHz), it is quite later than an original game.
  I'm so much welcome your comment about the speed and your environment.
  Thanks in advance.

* At the last
  Thanks for Colo to the occasion of the release to the English version.

  Thank you for reading.  Nobuya.Chikada   nobuya@white.plala.or.jp
