No! Well why didn't >I< think of that!? :^) The good news is, my latest game was running quite slow on Melissa's laptop last night at the SVLUG Hacking Society meeting, so instead of adding a title screen and game-over and stuff, I actually recoded the graphics display code to get it back up to 30fps on her system. I wouldn't have bothered for a while, I imagine, if I hadn't seen it going so slow first-hand. (Maybe I /shoudln't/ have gotten rid of my Pentium 133Mhz! ;^) ) -- -bill!
