   (...) actually, I didn't know you could do that! the ability to start only one line is even better! :) now I'll have to try... (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

   (...) And vice versa, of course -- if the black line finishes, you can start another... (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

   (...) nod, it's pretty cool! what's a good score? :) (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: Hey, look what's on Freshmeat.... —Matthew Miller
   (...) Actually, I'm not sure yet. I've spent more time coding than playing. Karen's top score is 6000-something so far, but I'm pretty sure one can get past that. Also, I think I'm going to add a timer. It's possible to do really well if you spend (...) (24 years ago, 7-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: Hey, look what's on Freshmeat.... —Dan Boger
   (...) heh... I guess I need to work at it some more - I'm only at 3200 or so :) (...) oh no! Jenn keeps saying I drive her mad cause I wait too long... is it going to be a timer with a set time per level, or just a limit how long you can wait (...)

     (...) I haven't figured it out yet exactly. I think it's going to be a set time per level. However, I'm not sure what will happen when the time runs out. It might just be for a bonus. (24 years ago, 7-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

   (...) the longer you take to do a level, the lower your score! muahahah (24 years ago, 7-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: Hey, look what's on Freshmeat.... —Matthew Miller
   (...) Ooh, great idea! That seems a lot less arbitrary than a time limit. I'll put that in and see how it works. (24 years ago, 8-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

   (...) Also, Tom Cook says that instead of having the right button switching between vertical and horizontal, make the right button only do horizontal lines, and the left button start a vertical lines... This also will help faster play, which is (...) (24 years ago, 8-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: Hey, look what's on Freshmeat.... —Matthew Miller
   (...) Actually, I tried this initially, and found it much worse. It's not intuitive enough -- even after playing for quite a while, you keep forgetting which button is going to go which direction. When I get around to implementing a Settings dialog, (...) (24 years ago, 8-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
