Hi Neff,

Thanks for the compliment but I don't put this demo into the same class of 
program as Flapple Bird. The demo is really just a test of dlgr routines for 
the cc65 C compiler. It really does nothing... it is not playable and not 
really historical.

However, having said that, I did have some thoughts about doing a racing 
game in dlgr. Someone in comp.sys.apple2.programmer had mentioned porting a 
racing game at some point... it's a good idea for DLGR in cc65 and would 
lend itself to some sprite routines and maybe even a sprite editor and a 
track editor.

Not sure at this point if I've got the time to do this.

But if I did, then perhaps some fair comparison could be made to the cc65 
DLGR stuff and Flapple Bird, but until then the value of the cc65 DLGR stuff 
is purely informational, but still considerable work to put together, and I 
am happy to receive the compliment:)

I am just saying that Flapple Bird is more advanced and actually does 
something.

Bill
