Hi George,
One thing I did when I was adding AsciiPixels was a tiny bit of code
optimization (perhaps I shouldn't have?):
1. I noticed you had duplicated code for printing "You Lose" and "You
Win". I combined these into a single routine with "Win" or "Lose"
passed as a string. Also I noticed you use % variables quite a bit.
2. I changed all of these to DEFINT so they are integer by default and
removed all of the '%' characters. This both saves space and a tiny bit
of time as the BASIC parser has fewer characters to intrepret.
3. There were a few places where you check for "Y" and on the next line
check for "y" (same with "N" and "n"). I combined these like:
14140 IF A$="Y" OR A$="y" THEN 14200
4. I removed all occurances of "THEN GOTO line_no" to simply "THEN
line_no". The GOTO is assumed in this case.

Hi Ken,
I'm not making any more change. Feel free to reach out to me directly.
I'd like to integrate this fully with my own graphics if I can.

George,
Are you still making major changes to Test Sweeper? I had a few
minutes on my hands this morning and integrated my AsciiPix routines
into the latest copy of TSWEEP.DO that I had. See attached photos of
it running in VirtualT. I haven't tried this on a real M100 yet, but
I think it should work.
If you are interested, I could give you a quick explanation of how I
did this. Oh, and the BASIC code detects if ASCPIX is present and
defaults back to the original if not.

Hi John,
You knew exactly what I was getting at.
I guess it's possible to use PSET and PRESET to draw mines. Although
an รณ might be just as well.
My girlfriend was rather unimpressed with Text Sweeper due to "not
real flags and mines".

Hey guys,
Is there any way to do custom characters in a BASIC program?
~George
Not that I know of. I've seen special display software like View80
but that's in machine language.
I did notice there's an o with a tick over it. Might make a good
bomb for text sweeper.
