     This is just another worm game. But it uses bitmaps, with a beginner concept of double buffering, also something about sorting elements in arrays. The game has a Configuration window (you can choose world size and game level), and a Hall of Fame window (shows top 10 hi-scores). Code is clean and well commented.

Sorry, i´ve forgotten to translate the menus, and there was an error while calling the hi-scores window. Thanks to Tang Wing Keung, the guy who told me that something was wrong.

DM, you may open the project file (verme.vbp) with windows notepad and remove the entire line (Retained=0). Save the file and try again. This problem occurs when you try to open a VB6 project using VB5.

(bad) english: Dude! Cool game, and well done. It would be nice to use it as an easter egg, if you let me, of course...

Changing the board size doesn't work. Are there max values? Validating the user input is recommended.
