I'm going to have to try the real thing on Mame and compare the timings and
such but the explosions seem closer to my recollections now as far as
timing goes.
I know in the original didn't it superimpose point values?
Also, your mine spawning routine should probably prevent stacking of the
mines. Right now it's pretty common to see two mines overlap eachother.
You should enforce some kind of minimum distance.
Also, you might want to think about doing double or triple-copy mines ala
Space Invaders to help clutter up the bottom. This would complicate the
kernel, I realize. It's just that right now you can only have two mines
per level and the coinop may have done more.
Other than that, I guess the next step is to make the score dynamic, right?
BTW, as you may know, the original Sea Wolf 1 used an analog control on the
periscope. You were controlling a crosshair. Isn't this also the case in
SW2? I'm assuming paddle control is out of the question here, right?
