Hello Theo,

>want see what people get out of "small Euphoria".

I get quite a lot out of it. I know both VB and Cobol
and I know it wouldn't be this easy to do what I've
done in Euphoria in either of those.

Does it run slowly on your machine? What speed is your cpu?


>In fact ... thats the best game I've seen for a long time.
>(Exactly ... since the Space-Invaders from Ray Sm...).

I'm not sure I have played that, is that the one done
with EuAllegro? I'm downloading that as I type.


>I knew an older Versions of this, it was made in QBASIC.

"Gorillas" by any chance? I played that at a friends house
one time and never could find it again anywhere else. The
inspiration for this game was one called Scorched Earth.

Thanks. When you say "funny" do you mean amusing or enjoyable?
I agree, assuming by "scientific" you mean strategic. I like
games that deal with some strategy too. Especially if it gives
you time to think about it.


thanks,
