Gabotbon?

oh well.  No I did not give him permission.  I talked to him.  He seemed sorry for not asking. Happybobjr said all is well and no hard feelings.  Happybobjr then gives him permission.

It was strange seeing it appear.  I am kinda glad to i never posted my updated version as it was too bulky.
He is trying to learn axe by looking at the code

    My apologies for not contacting you about that. I had been tweaking it a bit for some time and wasn't originally going to upload it, but on a spur of the moment thing did and realized today I probably should have asked permission. As you may have saw, I tried to give as much credit as possible to you since it really was you who made the game. It you want me to change anything or want to merge my tweaks into your recent version I would happy to help in anyway

Thanks again for making such a great program,
Steven Ryan

    I'll admit, the zooming function at the moment is just your cheat mode with the ability to shoot turned off. I plan on making in three levels of zoom once my Axe knowledge becomes better: Zoomed in all the way, partially zoomed in, and not zoomed at all. Hitting the target would count for less points in partially zoomed mode. I would be happy to stay in contact. Right now the only things I'm planning on adding are the aforementioned zooming and better reloading, such as setting manual reloading instead of automatic. I just happened upon your game on ticalc and saw it was written in Axe and figured I would try it out. I was impressed with it and wanted to fix the limits I saw. Personally, I think optimization should be worried about either after features are finished or if the game becomes to slow down too much.

Still impressed,

I don't mind IMHO.  If he were o take it up as a project he might be able to make it fun.  He changed some things that i really liked (I liked the changes, not i liked the things he changed... I hate my poor grammer and me spelling)

he made cheat mode remove points.
He made it so when you run out of amo, a new clip in inserted (at a price)
