Just tell your local Mac guru to launch his/her Think/Lightspeed Pascal and type the program from the October 1987 MacTutor. The complete source code is about 1.5 pages long. You might also want to fix the problem I just described in comp.sys.mac.programmer. Most of the source code is to make the hole ragged and to generate the laser cannon sound. My version of Blast has a bug. It crashes inside PaintBehind after six or seven holes. (Even the Finder crashes.) Looking at the object code, I see that this is not exactly the same program that is printed in MacTutor. _._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._ | Juri Munkki jmunkki@hut.fi jmunkki@fingate.bitnet I Want Ne | | Helsinki University of Technology Computing Centre My Own XT | ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
