Another Vector release, sorta.

Some of you may remember the vector graphics Asteroids clone I've been working on, Vector. Well, here's another release.. I haven't registered 2.1 yet so you get all the source code with it. The reason for this is the new enhanced AI. Before, the game used an algorithm to point in your general direction. That algorithm is now the medium of the two new AI classes. The Rookie AI class aims in your direction, but if you are moving, he'll miss. The Ace class aims at where you are going to be if you don't change directions, and is so accurate it's scary. Anyway, I want some testers to see if the new classes unbalance the fun factor in the game. I've noticed how some people have been kidna addicted to it... I definitely don't want to take that away just because of a new feature! So E-mail me if you want a copy to test. (I'm using a different E-mail address, that supports file attachments, so it'll be easier this time.) I have a free web site, but they don't support me uploading .EXE or .ZIP files! ("What!?" Well, that's what I said...) So if you want to host it on your site until I get a new free web site, E-mail me or the list. P.S. The code is better than last time, but the documentation in it really needs to be cleaned up... Remember: You're interested in the game, not the code....
