Ben: thank you!

It's absolutely ace. You had me from the moment the aphex On sample kicked
in, i.e. right away. I love it, particularily the solid soundeffects and the
screenwide explosions and the classic gameplay of course.

I'll stick it up on yarozescene (thanks for the mention) as soon as I stop
playing it.

Hiscore competition anyone? I'm going to have a few more goes before I post
my best (I've always been lame at defender tho).

Matt

I liked it soooo much I delved into the source code. Can I suggest you
replace the command (line 439):

 "GsInitGraph(320, 240, GsINTER|GsOFSGPU, 0, 0);"

with:

 "GsInitGraph(320, 240, GsNONINTER|GsOFSGPU, 0, 0);"

because your interlacing your screen (makes it flicker slightly) which is
not needed cos your screen height is only 240.


Another suggestion, could you make R2 the same function as X (thrust ship)
cos my thumb keeps slipping off X when I try and press the
fire/hyperspace/smartbomb buttons.
