   (...) 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)

   (...) heh... I guess I need to work at it some more - I'm only at 3200 or so :) (...) oh no!

This also will help faster play, which is (...) (24 years ago, 8-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

   (...) 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.
