An observation, if you bomb the tail end of an imp spiral with a dorky imp (mov 0, <1), the whole train will die. The tricky part is to locate it. Negative imp (mov 0, -1) is also an interesting type of bomb. A third observation. Imp erases your program downwards, so you can set up something like this for single process type fighters: mov bomb, -10 add #10, -1 jmp -2 ; just regular bomber part mov bomb, 0 ; imp defender part mov bomb, 0 mov bomb, 0 ; try to out-run an imp mov bomb, -2 jmp -1, <-3 bomb dat #0, #0 -Thomas Wang (Everything is an object.) wang@cup.hp.com >Wayne Edward Sheppard
