The PC has loads of strange graphics characters below ASCII 32 and above ASCII 127. Use the 16-colour text mode, and the PC speaker for sounds. I wrote my own textmode Space Invaders (actually it was for a green-screen terminal so there was no graphics mode) when I started learning, and it was fun. And I started Tetris to see if I could work out how it would work but never finished it. The algorithms for them shouldn't be hard to work out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ well I try my best, to be just like I am but everybody wants you to be jeeeiiiist like them they say "sing while you slave", but I just get bored, http://www.greenaum.demon.co.uk/
