		Hi slinga, Guess what ? 2 days ago, vreuzon, a friend and I played 12-player snake for more than 5 minutes. There's a small problem : from time to time, there's nothing to eat for a long time. Is it on purpose ? Djidjo

		No, I noticed the bug as well. What version are you using? It happens when the food is displayed in a position where it is over-written by a moving snake. So the food IS there, only you can't see it . I thought I fixed it in the newest version, if not it should be a one line fix (keep printing the food during the while loop, stupid buy hey it'll work).

		I had a version 2.03 lying around on my hard disk, I gave it a whirl and I didn't see the bug pop-up. Give it a go.

		The SSMTF web page...has been updated with snake 2.03. (what about your new game, slinga ?)

		My 12 player balloon fight clone is coming along slowly. I have a temporary title screen done (the balloon is animated!!). I also have very minimal controller input working. I still have to work out the physics, collision detection, sound, pretty much everything actually. I expect to be done around May or June with something playable.

		is "balloon fight" the original game name ?

		Yep, it's an old nes game. It's a rip off of joust.

		Here's a screen shot: It's beginning to look a little bit like balloon fight. I have the stars in the background working, the bonus round balloons fly upwards and animate properly, the players move around somewhat. I don't have any collision detection done yet and the control will need a whole lot of work, but the game is beginning to take shape. Of course NONE of this actually works on a real saturn...
