    Nice job Trent, congratulations.
    I have no idea how to program in VB.
    Maybe you could post some VB to PIC (USB, Serial, etc.) interface modules.
    It would help to get us started and break the ice.

    Best to go down to the police station and demand a polygraph if you're innocent.

    Nice game, Trent. I hate the rain, etc.... because it is a nice distraction.

    On my laptop, it is difficult to get them to move just one square left or right... it almost always moves two. Perhaps a delay before auto-repeating will improve game play.

    The reasoning for the rain (constant in some levels) -- is to make the game progressively more difficult. This is achieved by, as you stated: "it is a nice distraction"

    The game runs at around 10fps, so the delay for auto repeat is 100mS. I guess something that's definable in the menu would make a welcomed addition. Not everyone plays the game at lightning speeds.

    Thanks for the very constructive feedback Tenaja.

    Initially, I had plans of having hot bikini models in the background, to make for a "real" distraction. Higher levels get a hotter babe. The game gets progressively harder. But I ditched the idea for something that would suit a wider audience.

    Alain,

    Not that I don't trust you or anything, but I have this policy about running executables: I like to be able to verify the source (like as in, where the hell has it come from?)

    That link points to nothing specific about the game, no website, no author, natta. The attributes of the file are null, not even an icon.

    Some advice I would like to give everyone prior to running an executable:

    1. Determine the source
    2. Question the source
    3. If something doesn't make sense in this world then it is not true!

    I'm overly cautious and suspicious. Sorry, I'm an Aquarius.
