v1.2 Significant enhancements


  • Switched collision detection from ATTR to POINT, allowing for more precise movement through tightly packed obstacles, which in turn makes the game feel far more fair
  • This introduced colour clash, but it is limited to line pixels rather than having obstacles change colour
  • Line trajectory is now faster
  • Player now has 3 lives, with an indicator in the bottom right corner
  • Many separate brevity optimisations contributed by Einar Saukas allowed me to add an end screen for completion of level 20, and permitted the inclusion of sounds
  • Einar also solved issues to permit the exit gate to narrow incrementally with each level, rather than only once after level 10
  • The collaborative evolution of the listing is documented in this thread on the Spectrum Computing forum
