About
=====

This is a mini-game I created for ciw1973's competition 
held in the FreeBASIC.net forum from June 27th to 
August 6th of 2007. The competition rules were rather
loose but one important rule, no "pre-drawn" graphics 
(non-code generated) were allowed. This is my entry 
for the competition.

Mighty Line is a simple single-screen shooter where
you control a rotating line with a hole in the middle
and shoot and the objects swarming toward you, mostly 
balls but later something else. The game lasts for 
about 8 minutes and the goal is to survive and 
accumulate as many points possible. You get bonus 
points for destroying a ball you tagged by letting
it pass through your hole, or for surviving a phase 
without being hit.

Read the instructions for more info.

P.S.

You might need to wait some 10 seconds for the 
game to start (background generating part).

Version notes
=============

1.1. Game over and end game music tracks added! 
     Once more, Zamaster outdid himself. Scoring 
     with tagged ball has changed. Now to get the 
     super bonus the player need to destroy the tagged
     ball. Game difficulty was increased. One sound 
     added (tagged ball destroyed). Increased the fire 
     ratio of the main weapon. Few glitches fixed.
