This program is a scrolling arcade game. The background scrolling is realy three
.gif pictures that repeat over and over. The .gif pictures are replacable with
whatever you want. Also, the bad guy's and the good guy are also small .gif
files. If you replace these you must be sure that they are the exact same size
or the game won't work right. There are a number of glitches... sometimes it says
you have crashed into a bad guy when you really havn't, etc. One of the biggest
problems is the flickering. Although my graphics routines are fast enough for
smooth graphics I don't have them syncronized in the best way. One note: This
will not work very well at all with the keyboard, a joystick is a much better
deal. I never perfected my keyboard routines. This game is probably not going
to be too useful to very many people (ie: It's not very adaptable due to its
complexity) except maybe as an example of what my adaptable graphics routines
are capable of doing. Also, please run at your own risk. This ran years ago
on old systems and new-fangled windows operating systems may not like it so well.
