woah, this would've been much more fun to play than my qbasic space shooter: i did not know about timers, etc. and focused on making graphics out of draw primitives. i wonder, what were others using for documentation? as i recall, i'd found a short introductory book on BASIC (not qbasic specifically, I don't think?) at the library.
