Hey, why didn't I knew that before? Would have saved me some time trying
to find out. Those logic tricks should be written down somewhere. I
don't want to reinvent the wheel over and over without knowing.

Though it makes me a bit proud to know I was able to... :-)

No wonder, that's what made me start thinking about it. :-)

The current score is 3:0 for SFcave. Any more votes?

I still don't know which one I prefer. I also like paddle-controlled
zone-mode games like Kaboom and SCSIcide quite a lot and this kernel
could become another one.

Hm, maybe that's possible. Depends on how much special code both
solutions need.

Or I am making two games based on the same kernel! Double "profit". :-D

Have fun!
