If you want to see a less balanced but far more visually explosive game, try changing line 565 from
`If game.rowCount% < 5 Then m! = 0.5 Else m! = 0.15`
to
`m! = 0.5`
I'm tempted to add easy/normal/difficult game start buttons and to have the above setting as easy, one that gradually decreases from 0.5 to 0.15 over 30 rows as normal and the current setting as difficult. What do you think?

Amazing work, RokCoder! +1 I need to study this. It's so clean and tidy.

I've replaced the ZIP in the initial post with a new version featuring three difficulty levels (and it'll even keep your current high-score as the hard-level high score).(09-23-2024, 04:25 PM)RokCoder Wrote:Heck ya, go for it.

Thanks very much!
You just missed the new update. It now features difficulty levels. I've set the ball count to a maximum of 50 to keep things sane but it gets pretty dramatic in the easier levels now with balls flying all over the place!

WooHoo 2! (before the update, downloading that now)

That's frankly a ridiculously good score! You're five minutes early on grabbing the new build. I just fixed a bug that will likely affect you - score/hiscores were stored in integer variables instead of longs so could wrap around on easier levels. New version was uploaded just minutes ago.
