These are some very nice examples. I didn't try them all, but the ones I tried all worked good.

I have only one piece of advice. If you write code with the purpose of sharing it, it is a good practice to add a lot of comment to the code, so others can read it easily. Especially when it is about complicated algorithms like the AI in some of the games.

I also wrote a version of battleship in VB and it is nice to see that you use the same algorithm.

Tbh. I don't think comments would help making the code more readable, this code wasn't written to be easily understandable but to be compact and as confusing as possible :bleh: .
Basically anything considered bad practice at "good programming".

This is no rant on your stuff Guesst, I enjoy your pieces.
Code hacks are a bit like art... nobody claims that art needs to be userfriendly.

I'm a bit slow. I was busy in February. I'm still busy, but avoiding doing something else I really should be doing.

Anyways, I took no offence on your comments Eagg, but Nitro has a point. My code isn't very well comented and it was designed to be shared. However, the reason for that was not well commented is that I had intended to release these to be typed in by the reader. I took my inspiration from old books of BASIC games that did the same thing (referenced several times in previous threads). As such I didn't want some would be programmer to get frustrated when he learned that 50% of what he typed was unnecessary when he finally learned what a comment was.

Ah, who am I kidding. I was never good at commenting anyways.
