Yeah. I'm finding that problem occurs more and more. But I figure, Who
needs ultra-high performance 3D graphics and multi-sprite displaying, when
you have player-missile graphics?

Hmm. The way it runs now it takes all of the 4 players' heights of their
filling bars, XORs them together, and also XORs them with an incrementing
counter, such that if all 4 buttons are pressed down at once, then the
prizes would just increment through really fast in order. However, the
player who is currently getting the item is forced not to press the button
because if they do, they'll get the prize that's currently in the corner.
I tried to make it Super Mario Kart-ish, with the spinning items in the
corner. I suppose I can make it more random, as there are ways it could be
rigged. Good suggestion. :)

Thanks. I guess that when I end up beta-testing a game on my own for an
extended period of time, repetitive things get annoyoing REALLY fast.
