[ANN] Game Available for Test

[Jim Hurley]

Scott,

A true programmers' game. Thanks. I was particularly appreciative of 
the full ten rows for trial and error. I used my full allotment on 
more than one occasion.

A suggestion (which you won't like.) Although it would spoil the 
esthetics of the game, I would have preferred letters rather than 
colored balls. In clicking through to select a particular color, I 
found that I often overshot the mark and had to cycle through again. 
With an alphabetical sequence there would be less danger of that 
since one can follow the sequence more easily. Perhaps you could 
provide an options of color balls or letters.

Again, thanks for the game. I have reciprocated by posting a favorite 
of mine that I wrote some time ago--I believe with HC; but the speed 
of Run Rev is sooo much more satisfying. It is a simulation of one 
the crytogram puzzles you may have seen. It is a long division 
problem with letters replacing the numbers. The problem is to 
decipher the code. It is easy to cheat. The trick is not to.

Unfortunately this works only on the Mac. I need to line up rows of 
letters and numbers and that requires a uniformly spaced 
font--monospaced. I didn't see one that works on my PC. It looks like 
Georgia is the only monospaced font but it is illegible at 24 point 
size.

I learned something from your trick of calling up the url from within 
Run Rev, so run this from the message box (1.1.1 or 2.0)
