Hah! That screen dump shows well above 2000 points! You must have burned quite a bit of time!

Hadn't really noticed that particular score, but the score is up to 6 digits long so I'd say I have some way to go yet to reach the maximum. A high score table (to remember my scores) would a great addition to the next version. Along with an 'Undo' function to correct my mistakes...

Re: [Ql-Users] Raspberry Pi
Thanks Norman for helping a lazy bloke into the Raspberry Pi websites! I've just spent more time in there than certain persons have recently wasted in QJewels ;) Read all the MagPi magazines. Fascinating and informative. John in Wales ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Funny thing is, I unpacked it and thought "Oh god, this being QL software I'll probably have to configure it first to let it know where its sound files are etc., how annoying. This would be so much easier if people just used the Home directory extension Wolfgang and I had developed" and what do you know, it did exactly just that! :) After unpacking it somewhere clicking the exe was all it needed to make it work, that was a very nice surprise indeed! Also, I like the quit dialog :) Didn't score more than about 400 thus far, though. But I'll try just one more time now...
