Well it seems there isn't going to be any problem with the graphics, and i am not gonna ask that Jiri-Something after his nice mail about my mails, but enough about that.. Mark Honnor, i've seen your code and think it could be optimized to use 1D-sequence, so you can poke a whole screen at once!! But someone said it was actually slower!! I'll try it out I'll mail out the program layout and more details tonight, then i'll won't mail through the mail server, but to all personal. Nobody needs to help, but you can just see how to program grows and add sugestions, also i will have a few requests... BTW This will not be credited as my game with your help, but as our game, and programming is the less importand thing, i need more ideas, the coolest game are the ones that are original!!! (Look at lemmings, and Diablo) So this is mostly about ideas and some programming difficulties, like the graphics (they need to be fast!!). As for the modplayer that might be created, great!! It would be great, however i think it takes a lot of CPU in euphoria, but i might be wrong. (It could be that sequence operations makes it all very small, quick code) Thanx, mail out more tonight.. (Will someone say hi to Jiri for me, cause i aint talking to that [CENSORED], will someone???) Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen nieuwen at xs4all.nl
