No, no, no...this was Nick's *original* "how to draw a playfield" demo.
I added color cycling, just playing with it, but it was never meant
to turn into a game. The reason I sent this to the list was that I knew
it worked on Stella0.7 and it was the only .bin I had at work. Sorry if
this caused any confusion. :)

Well, my machine at work is an NT machine, and is far from net friendly.
Too much firewall crap gets in the way when trying to send stuff out.
I should've just used my UNIX box in the first place. Now there's a *real*
machine! The empty text file was suggested by a coworker as a hack to
mail out a binary through th firewall. There is nothing wrong with doing
it...the firewall's just overly paranoid...I guess. I dunno though, cause
these things always seem to work fine from my normal machine. And it's the
same firewall! ??? Anyway, "bat_demo.bin" was just what the name implied.
"test.uu" was a uuencoded version of the same file. Just incase the binary
didn't go through. But I don't know why it would have decoded into 4128
bytes. Seems to work on my end. Weird.
But now that you mention it, I can see the bat as a mothership. Sorta like
Phoenix or 1942 or something. But I think I'll just leave it as a demo. :)
Take care!
