Hi Dark, Glad you like it. As it so happens when I started having vision troubles snow and ice environments against a blue sky gave me a lot of troubles too. That seems to be a common contrast problem for people with visual disabilities. All the same I am interested in looking at the code and the mechanics of the game as I think they may give me some ideas how to improve my own designs.
