In my 'spare time' I should write all of this for VFP9...

In my spare time I 'd rather read a good action novel:-)
That certainly clears my mind from all that code I churn day after day,
week after week
Have a good weekend

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...

Been there. 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.
