  and will replace the old one when it is confirmed by others that it works.
- A new version of LINUXaudio has been sent in by David W. Boyd, 
  <dave_boyd@Sterling.com> who has been working on that too. Please email me

- Still working on level editor.
- Added flip and scroll of levels in editor for both x and y.
- Added a play test mode to the editor. Minimal changes to other code.
- Updated the manual for the level editor.
- Fixed up the includes to have -I in Imakefile and changed all source to 
  reflect this.
- All I have to do is change patchlevel.h now to update copyright message!
- Added a yes/no class to the dialogue. If (YesNoDialogue(display, message)) {}

- Added mode_quit to the pause loop to stop frame inc when in quit mode.
  Thanks to goldsman@scratchy.gtri.gatech.edu (Michael G. Goldsman)
- Removed all ansi trigraphs from the earth.xpm file. I hope!
- Added some DEBUG() statements around the traps.

  Thanks for that - maybe the Linux author could look at this code so that
  you guys can have click free audio?
- Fixed a small bug in the clear routine in the presents code.
- Fixed a small bug in the finish code of the highscore where it waited for
  a while before changing slides.
- Added a quit current game question y/n so you don't stuff up by accident.

  cursor code where the cursors were not being freed.
- To get back into the feel of a game I changed the Press space to start text
  to the old "Insert coin to start game." phrase. :-)

  store stuff in paddle code.
- Added a shot direction finder that allows you to select the angle to shoot
  the ball at when starting a new ball. Pretty neat but what a mess to do.
  It now works. Cool.
- Added an ouch.au file to the smiley roamer faces when hit.

- Cannot shoot your ball as it is being created. I think.
- Made the copyright notice more complete.
- Made the highscore file save the real user id and use that for the comparing
  when updating the highscore file so all those cheats out there cannot chfn
  and get in the global highscore file more than once :-)

- Killed of the spin.au file as it kills the audio for some reason - put
  a new one in called intro.au that is a powerdown sound.
- All buttons now shoot bullets in game mode. Also the button starts of the
  ball instead of the space bar now.

  network independent conversion of the score and level. May now work over
  networks where the machine has different byte ordering for score file only.
- Added a killer mode where the ball turns red and the ball goes through all
  blocks like butter. It is activated after 10 bonuses have been collected.
- Only real errors now get written to stderr - all others to stdout.

  that you can change them to point to your own cheat level files!!

- Following changes provided by :-
   - Jean Yves VIONDURY (viondury@mururoa.imag.fr) and
     Olivier DUMAS (dumas@mururoa.imag.fr) from Bull-IMAG, France.

    . The ball bounce on the paddle has been modified, so that the ball can
      be oriented better than before.
    . The autotilt-random function has been changed, to make the auto-tilt
      function more reliable.
    . Speed modifiers due to Warp values now propose a linear evolution.
    . The global high score file is locked when updated, to avoid conflicts
      and score losses when several people finish their game at the same time.
      This feature hasn't been extensively tested, as these situations aren't
      easy to provoke. But we rely on the system to make it work properly.

- You will all notice the improved ball bouncing off the paddle thanks to the
  above dudes. Thanks again.
- Thanks to christos@deshaw.com for the patch on alt.sources regarding the
  extra error cases in error.c and the ansi trigraphs bug.
- Supports HP audio which I think is .au format as well on the device.
- Discovered the UNOFFFICIAL patch on export. Hmm - don't like the flag change!
- Sent a patch by soulard@corto.inria.fr that fixes the problem where the
  teleport can have problems when it puts the ball in an enclosed area. Thanks.
- Added a paddle shrink and expand block - removed paddlesize getting smaller
  as you get higher in the levels as it is too hard.
- Added README's in all subdirectories. Cleaned up code and directory.


Version 1.5 - 23rd July 1993
----------------------------

- Thanks for all the responses :-) I think I better post it to news!
  Our machine is slowwwwwing down from all those ftpers! I asked for it!
- After first posting I received quite a few mail messages about the
  Imakefile and compiling on other machines. Well I never said it would
  so I have now added the patches/suggestions.
- The semicolin missing was unfortunate. I use gcc by default and that
  of course didn't need that line of code. Sorry folks.
- Colourmap problems - well I did warn that it only works for colour!
  I'll try to get it to work for greyscale - XPM handles it but the
  pixmaps look bad as they were designed for colour only. Sorry.
- I forgot a manual page - Done. Please forgive me if it is pox as it is
  my first go at nroff.
- Updated the Imakefile more to include the directory installation.
- A few lose ends in highscore.c fixed. Also took some useless stuff out of
  the Imakefile.
- Added a pirate block that will kill the ball when hit. You can shoot the
  pirate 3 times and lose 1000 points, saves your ball though.
- Fixed the bullet bug where sometimes on a new level you couldn't shoot
  even if you had bags of ammo.
- Displays level name when starting.
- The way bonuses are added is much better now. Less time wasting.
- Turned off the graphics exposures in the graphics contexts to speed the
  while event loop up considerably. Wow, what a difference.
- Added the timer and special bonus area after squashing the message area
  smaller. This area will have a count down timer and special modes will be
  indicated in the special area. The bonus screen now uses the timer bonus.
- Added TrueColour to the colour test for all those SGI people.
- Added tink code to clear off tinks.
- Improvement for the bullet/ball collision.
- Added an I key for quick Iconification if the boss walks passed.
- Added a -scores option to print highscores to command line.
- If the user has a '&' in their gecos it should be expanded to their user
  name and then the first letter upper case. Patch by jeff@rd1.interlan.com
- Better parsing of level data. Time bonus is now part of level data.
- Fixed major ball debris bug. Easy - clear background before copying it for
  the backing store. Also done for the paddle/bullet. However, I must fix the 
  collision detection though. Sometimes a bit of a block is cut out. :-(
- Added code so that when the ball get stuck in a loop, if the paddle is not
  hit in n seconds then the board will auto tilt.
- Put code in to time the game and show up in highscore table.
  Updated both the X bit and commandline bit.
- Fiddled with the timing routines. Still a bit dodgy.
- Made some calls in highscore table better and to use misc routines.
- The ball collision detection now uses regions that get created as the block
  is created. This is better than a whole lot of if's if you ask me.
- Also fixed the addbonus code and made a MakeBlockGeometry function to
  make code more modular.
- Added a personal highscore feature. Your highscores get saved to a highscore
  file in your home directory.
- Took out the beep if the key isn't recognisied. Started shitting me!!
- Install procedure finally fixed. yeah.
- Made the mouse move the paddle relative to it's position. Asked for a lot.
- Also a new commandline option [-keys] will disable the mouse mode and only
  allow keys to move the paddle. This is better than having both.
- Added a reverse block - when hit the controls reverse for a time span.
- The highscore file is now always fchmod()ed to make sure permissions are
  correct for all players.
- Added a hyperspace block that will turn off the side wall for the
  ball and it will wrap around as such.
- Fixed the text routine calls in intro.c to use calls in misc.c
- Added SUN audio - yeah yeah yeah again.... -sound option for audio.
- Fixed the Imakefile to use the audio settings and how to find sounds.
- Added some sound effects. More later.
- Added code to highlight the score you just obtained in a game in highscore.
- Adjusted the code in bonus.c to allow the space to pressed to skip bonus
  animations but still add the bonus score onto the score etc.
- Add the specials display at bottom of the window indicating the current
  specials mode.
- Added another 10 levels to make a total of 40 levels. It is rather boring
  creating levels :-)
- Added a ball kill key <d>.
- Highscores are saved when quitting with q key.
- Redesigned the keys screen - added a = audio on/off g = game control
  added 1-9 for speed control
- Added an extra ball animation and block.
- Changed the ball slightly so that it has a white circle around it so it will
  stand out better on all backgrounds.
- Cursor is now gone and grabbed to main window.
- Added applause sound when level is finished.

  in the misc.c code - reduces the rendershape routine down by 2 calls.
