Hi there!

Hm...

Hehe. Here's the one I'm using, I think it was *you* who
wrote the comment ;-)
NextRandom SUBROUTINE
; quite good pseudo random generator:
LDA Random
BNE .skipInit
LDA #$FF
.skipInit:
ASL

EOR Random

ROL Random
RTS
> BTW: What is a "Slave I"???
It's the name of the ship. You could see it best in
Episode II I think. First Jango Fett owned it, then Boba
Fett and - I'm not quite sure here - the current owner
might be another Bounty Hunter called Bossk. Or was it
destroyed? It's been a while since I read the "Bounty
Hunter Wars" trilogy...
When I'm playing Star Fire I'm pretending that I'm Boba
Fett chasing Bosk, with half of the Empire in the way...

No. But the value is kept, it's one of the "global
variables" which are reserved in both banks.

That is true. But the further randomization depends very
much on your own actions. To get the same game two
times, you'd need to repeat all your actions with single
frame precission, which no human is able to.

This is getting confusing I think. What if you press
select or Joystick left/right then?
Hm...
I could display the final wave after Game Over
permanent.
Yet, when the user now starts the game, I'd start him in
the last user selected starting wave.
When reset or joystick left/right is triggered, I could
display the new selected wave.
>- maybe one additional shield at the start of each wave
Ok.
