POP 89

http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=688

You are the arrow and move with the arrow keys. Every time you hit the circle the "blackness" goes down. Before you can pop the circle, you have to go first up(into the blackness) and then only you can pop it. Your goal is to get the "blackness" completely to the bottom of the screen so you can go to the next level. Each level gets harder.(For example: The "blackness" goes faster up). If the level reaches the top you get "Game Over". You must try to get to the most far level. Good Luck!

Good to see some people programming in Newprog

One remark about the ZIP file you uploaded to ticalc: you shouldn't embed Newprog and PreOS (including stdlib) in the POP 89 distribution

I understand that your packaging may be slightly more convenient for a user - but in general, there are at least two good reasons for not embedding external programs in a distribution:
* when the external programs are uploaded, the embedded version becomes outdated, and it's desirable to have as few outdated versions around as possible;
* you're reducing the download stats of the authors of the external programs

Yeah, that's true. Maybe I'll update it one of these days.

Ok, I updated it.

Might take a few days.

Yes, I normally don't like to approve files that contain copies of other people's files (though there are some exceptions in cases where the files are small and the license permits it), but sometimes I overlook those cases. Thanks for updating it.

Yeah. I first put it in because this would probably make it easier for people, but it's true what Lionel Debroux said.
