UKNM: RE: Banners can be effective and entertaining

[nick berry]

Dear Silas,


You are quite right - I should spend more time checking the email output of

my deranged mind at the end of a long day.


I'm sorry that the banner basher game was not to your liking, but at least

you can be pleased that Christmas is now upon us so you can steal presents

from children, deny alms to the poor, be nasty to your employees and watch

Noel Edmonds' Christmas House Party all by yourself.


Cheer up, and give us a call if you want some help with your advertising -

you can't have too many impressions so we'd be perfect for you  :)


yours


nick

Perhaps "AdvertWizard" ought to be about concentrating on printing "throw"

instead of "through", "result is" instead of "results is", etc...?

Err, perphaps someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks to me as if

the reason it is impossible to reach level 4 is that the frame rate on the

animation is too slow to cope with reliable collision detection at higher

ball speeds, rather than through any inherent difficulty of game play.


On a slightly different tack, does anyone know what the actual intelectual

property status of "Breakout" is?
