I wrote for fun the classic Battleship game in FPW 2.6. The grids consisted of 100 buttons for each side. One for the player and one for the computer. So 200 grid buttons was on pile of code to wade through with show get and the object. The only saving grace in all of this was the variables defined for the grid buttons were subscripted so all I need to do was pass the row/column address to the function to determine a hit or miss and if a hit show the bitmap to the ship (aircraft carrier, battleship, etc.) and then show the get. Plus it also played a WAV file to hear a splash for a miss or an explosion for a hit. Then there where the other controls on the screen like: resign, load ships, etc. I wish I could show you a screen shot of this 'masterpiece' but it does not run in Win7 Pro 64x...and my XP boxes have been put away... In my 'spare time' I should write all of this for VFP9... Jack

Sometimes in the intense period of a project this happens to me. I call the episodes "brain storms" -- language constructs, variable names, function names storm through my head unstoppably. Half dreaming, half awake, all bizarre.
