Rules:
You will be judge on how optimized your code is and how fast the routine appears to run on the screen. The routine must be on the graph screen and not the home screen. Your program will then be posted on Omnimaga on October 29, 2006 for voting. If you recieve 7 votes then you get 1/7 of the 50 points etc. You will also need to follow the rules for your code below and bonus points will be awarded as specified below.

It says that you can use an ASM utility ... which utilities are allowed?

yes all ASM ultilities are allowed only for graphics rendering because the actual routine has to be in BASIC

Netham45 sorry if I misunderstood your comment but it seemed to me that you were saying there are no rain routines in assembly and the reason I posted what I did above is because someone like tr1p1ea could very well program a rain routine in Assembly and have the person pass some variables through to the ASM program. Once again sorry if I misunderstood your comment but that is what I got from it.

Me, thats it. Check the other thread if you want to see it.
