Hi Steve:
Lasertank.exe can only play the lpb up to 65,535 steps. The lpb file has
two bytes only for the number-of-steps (byte #65=LSD and #66=MSD). The
program will stop after playing this number of steps. We can try this:
Pick any level that has the playback that was made by lasertank.exe.
Say, the tank reaches the flag at step number 500. Then we edit byte #65
and #66, so the new number-of-steps = 300. (While the file still has all
the 500 moves+shots+turns.) Lasertank.exe will play this lpb file for
only 300 steps and ignore the rest 200 steps.
Bye,
Suyono
