Exactly as planned, excepting I was planning on using M0 and M1 for the
first two dots and the ball for a possible third OR some special effects
on some boards. I didn't think about the possible problems with M1, but
I like challenges. I'm interested in ideas on "killer dot AI". I think
you'll like what I do with the rest.

Pshaw!!! Ruins the fun! Aside from some temporarily borrowed code from
Nick's "How to draw a playfield" (I'm taking the borrowed portion out
soon), this is going to be original work!
>Too bad I can't work on it now... :-/
Well, actually I hope you concentrate on your own original projects,
which i enjoy immensely. I'll certainly see this one through to the end
though my time table isn't rushed. If you get any ideas for especially
diabolical killer dots, however, _DO_ let me know ;) !!

Apple 2?!? The _real_ version was on the C=64! Everybody knows that! ;)
Thanks again for the help,
