Got it working Saturday or so. Thus, if people want copies that work, let me know. To the best of my knowledge, I can freely distribute this as they've been placed in the public domain by publishing them in this format. IF THIS IS NOT TRUE SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME BEFORE I SEND THEM TO ANYONE. The game is kinda cute in the spirit of Core Wars (which I have running kinda on the machine at work). The cycles draw coloured paths around the screen until they run into something. For me it was a good chance to learn more about the Amiga -- I haven't had it that long. If anyone out there plays the joystick player, only use the joystick to change directions. Holding it in a single position overwhelms the strategy() subroutine with endless Intuition joystick-position messages. The bike will continue in a straight line until you use the joystick to change to yet another direction. If I get more than a couple responses, I'll post to comp.sources.amiga or something. -Joe -- UUCP: rutgers!dayton!joe Dayton Hudson Department Store Company ATT : (612) 375-3537 Joe Larson/MIS 1060 (standard disclaimer...) 700 on the Mall Mpls, Mn. 55402
