Subject: Defender/Planetoid

Having fixed some stuff in my 6522 timer-handling code, I have now been
able to get Defender and Planetoid running.  I always thought these were
the same code, but it would appear that the random number generation works
differently for each program.

Running the Defender executable, everything works wonderfully (and clearly
demonstrates a bug in my bitmapped screen mode emulation :-(

Running Planetoid, all the Landers and humans appear in the same place
every time and when the ship blows up, all the shrapnel shoots off in the
same direction.

Any ideas, anyone ?

James.
