Yes, it's a really well written program. I ran it on QPC2 and immediately got a 
smack from my wife for having the sound so high. Great sound effects (uses 
Wolfgang L.'s sound extensions)...the slap was very realistic!

The version I tried got into difficulties if you deliberately played it so 
badly that the display in the left hand seven-segment LED went below -99, but 
that's me and my software destruction techniques!

I don't like Minesweeper as a game, but Per has done a fantastic job and it 
really shows what can be achieved - pushing the boundaries as Marcel suggested.

Nor do I, but I liked writing one. As these games go, now that Ive at last
had a chance to practise, I find D-Miner quite enjoyable to play.

 pretty damn good! I like the fonts Per used; are these prerendered bitmaps
 or something else :-) It gives it a X-Windows look that it is totally
 non-PE (which is pretty nice).

Cut out of M$ Word, Im afraid to say..

 I am actually waiting for the Cabal game myself which looks pretty
 awesome. I have worked on a similar solitaire for years but never got to
 finish it for lack of time and losing interest. However I do have a lot of
 decks made (even one designed by my daughter which is pretty funny).
 Per, if you're interested I can send you the decks in a size and format
 that you desire :-) It would be a shame for them to go to waste ;-)

Cabal will be at least another year in the making, sorry. The deck format
is currently:

--   Card faces file

deck
dc.w ccount card count, normally 52

face  ; table of offsets to cards
dc.w x,ycard dimensions. x must be even
dc.l sp_SA-*- Ace of Spades
dc.l sp_S2-*- Duce of Spades
...
*
dc.l sp_HA-*- Ace of Hearts
...
*
dc.l sp_CA-*- Ace of Clubs
...
*
...
dc.l sp_DJ-*- Jack of Diamonds
dc.l sp_DQ-*- Queen of Diamonds
dc.l sp_DK-*- King of Diamonds

*
sp_SA ; Ace of Spades sprite defintion
...


--   Card backs file

backs ; table of offsets to card backs
dc.w bcount number of backs

back
dc.w x,yx/y size; should be same as corresponding faces
dc.l sp_std-* - standard (default) card back
...   -

sp_std; Standard card back sprite definition
...


* Faces and backs must be supplied in separate files, either
* in pure binary (no S-ROFF) or in assembler.

The cards are just standard sprites, compressed if possible.

Just goes to show: It takes a genius to know one ;)

Pity about your kind remarks above, though, as I was just about to rave
about one of your own upcoming projects (as soon as were allowed to talk
about it, that is). Now it will look as if Im fishing for more compliments,
so youll just have to take my word for it: My praise would have made you
blush!

Im always interested in any feedback on any of my programs. How else am I
going to improve? Fan mail and general interest feedback may be directed to

 When I moved to broadband 18 months ago, NTL gave me a new address, which
 has never been given it out to anyone - except to NTL technical support
when
 I had a problem. It attracts about 100 spams a day.

No surprise - a lot of access providers sell all e-mail addresses
systematically.


 When I needed a local account urgently when in the USA I set up a
temporary
 account on AOL. Within 5 minutes of setting it up, and before sending or
 receiving any genuine email, I'd received half a dozen spams.


I think you have got that wrong - AOL is 100% spam free - they tells us.
