Hi Chris,

Sorry about the lack of response.. Ive just been rebuilding my machine after
it ground to an almost complete halt.
Once I got the newsgroups up and running today I downloaded your game. I
didnt play it for too long but I enjoyed it.. good graphics and gameplay..
cant wait till you tidy up the edges and add a bit of sound.

If I find a bit of spare time I'll take a look at your code.. no suggestions
spring to mind ontop of Jon's suggestions.
I did have a similar problem with my previous game where when I checked for
collision with a shot it would sometimes collide with 2 enemies but my dodgy
code only decremented the ememy left counter down by one. Im afraid thats
the only suggestion I can offer at the mo until I see your code.

As for you question about what program to use for the graphics I would have
thought any windows app would run in Win2K. I personnaly tend to use PSP.
Its relatively cheap and does pretty much all you'll need and more.

Cheers
John ( QuietBloke ).
