Re: Vector programming

Clay,

That would be a very interesting method of scoring; would create a sense of

This is the same line of innovative thinking that brought us those classic
games. Before Tempest, who would have thought to make a game where you would sit
on the edge of a hole and shoot into it at enemies coming up at you?
