I am not sure what I am going to do this year with Lasertank. I don't
have the time ( and drive ) to put out a new version now. Lasertank
4.0 is a really great program and I don't see any need to do another
version.
The game dosn't need any new objects. People always want to add
something new to the game but I don't think it need's anything. As
for the graphics, they are running as fast as they can using the
C/Windows routines that I use. A new version of lasertank should use
DirectDraw so that we can make much better graphics.
The only thing that the game NEEDS is levels, and with over 3500
levels now, I don't know if we need them eather.
That all said, I think we should make a New Lasertank game. Maybe we
will call it LaserTank II, LaserTank Gold, or something like that. It
would be based on lasertank but it would have Better graphics
(DirectDraw), It would fix ALL logic Bugs in the game, It could use a
bigger game board, and Other things. We could then import 100-200 of
the best levels from LaserTank into it. I think we should get rid of
the Kid levels, we can leave that to LaserTank 4.0
This is just an Idea I have, I do not have the time to program it,
but I could help in its design.

P.S. WHat do you all think about it ???
