Hi

	this is probably a pathetic attempt by me to get more visitors
to my site, and so feel self-important, but I now have two sets of
source code for (very) simple Allegro games available for download. And
executables as well, if that's what you want. The files available are
for Lines, a game apparently like the bikes bit in Tron, and Space
Crusaders which you should be able to figure out the nature of by
thinking of things that rhyme with 'Crusader' and go after 'Space'.

	They're probably very badly written (Lines even uses the goto
command - shock horror! actually it only skips one if statement, and
could be replaced with an else if, but I figured it was probably faster
that way), but Space Crusaders, for example, has pixel level collision
detection, so it can't be that bad. Check it out, tell me what you
think, reply to this message and insult me . . . do what you want, I
just figured someone might be interested. Oh, and if you were linked to
my site before (I traded links with a few members of this mailing list /
newsgroup), and aren't linked to the re-direction at
www.softysoft.home.ml.org, but to the previous location of the actual
site at www.btinternet.com/~t.harte, then those links will be very soon
out of date as all that exists there now is a redirection to the new
site. Thankyou for your time, sorry to waste bandwidth . . .

obliging about it - check the site)
