Ok people, my own game is now annoying me and I realy want to get it
finished so I can move on. But there are a few things not right with it. And
some stuff I want to add first. I'm not going to make another release for
every1 to look over until its finished in it's non-sound version, but is
there anyone out there willing to do a bit of debugging for me because im
completely stuck.

Firstly, my smoke. It works on level 2 fine. a smoke is produced, it gets
bigger and fades untill u cant see it and it is re-used elsewhere. fine.
But on every other level it doesnt get any more transparent, it is
semitransparent as you can see through the edges, it just wont fade. This
has lost me, because the only difference between the levels is the starting
possitions, the car used and the level and AI maps. Everything else is
exactly the same.

I would also like to make my boats act like they're on water rather than
wheels. My code (now almost 2yrs old) is quite tackey and trying to change
the main 'physics' involved causes to many errors for my liking and so was
hoping to slip it in with an IF on what car your using but cant work it out
with what I know.

If anyone wants to give it a look, and perhaps make a few other suggestions
PLEEAASE email me.
Cheers all,
Chris
