I don't know if you can tell, but I'm on my knees in a sorta praying manor. Very nice. The only thing I can see wrong with the entire program is a spelling mistake in the high scorers section... But you get major props for this my good man! It's easy to see why this won "Code of the Month". BTW This is a hard game! :)

Your game is really great. It would be a lot more fun if I had a chance at winning though. The TimeSoFar label box starts with at "12:00:00 AM" instead of "00:00:00" so it will never equal the AimTime. It's quite frustrating to live long enough to beat the time and then see that the planet has died.
I have updated the code if anyone wants it, just e-mail me.

Hi Thanks For Updating The Code, But I Don't Seem To Have This Problem. Does anyone Else? I Also Reconmend That You Slow Down The Ball A Bit. When I Wrote This Code, It Was For a Pentium 166Mhz, And Now There Are Much Faster Processors, I Now Have An Athlon 900Mhz, And It Is Almost Impsooible To Complete The Game On Novice!

Excellent Game! I have often tried to write those sort of things in visual basic, but every time I have failed. Do you think that you could give me some tips?


Thanx.
