I, along with two other friends, extended it to add some additional playability. Thus the name: "Xgalaga: Hyperspace". Our changes included: - adding accumulating shields that you use at your discretion - two new weapons - when you die your maximum number of shots simply drop by 1 rather than losing all your upgrades - increased the rate at which you get upgrades by...I think it was 20%. We found these changes added to the gameplay substantially. You get to play with your upgrades the entire game rather than losing them when you first die, which we found enjoyable. Allowing you to use your stored shields only when you want to makes you think that if you used your shields perfectly, you would be invincible. This makes the game even more addicting. :-) > Of course, this was because your skills are too high for our > bug fixing jobs. ;) > He He :-) I have been somewhat loathe to mess with my BeOS installation and so have not downloaded any parts of the OpenBeOS project yet. Obviously this will change soon. :-) I am hoping to ease into it by doing this bit of development, and then helping out with its bugs. I do not think that I am knowledgeable enough to help you guys out with your other bugs...yet. > ISC DHCP should be a good app to start from.

So I don't plan to suggest touching any existing files for months. --David
