Sabotage is a conversion of the classic Apple II game with same name.
Although it's basically the same game it's controls are slightly
different than the original.

Instead of the point-and-shot style you should control your cannon
using the numeric keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Each of them will shot in a different direction as shown below.
Its much more practical when using a small HPC keyboard:

    3   4   5
 2_  \  |  /  _6
   \__\ | /__/
      \\|//
1------   ------7
       [^]

Press P to pause and Backspace to finish the game. Press Backspace
again to quit.

Sabotage was developed using the BasiCE language, and typed in directly
at my Cassiopeia's keyboard. What a masochism, eh?

As it's interpreted Basic, the source code is the program itself.
Most of the routines were written in a weird way in order to improve
the overall speed of the game. Don't blame me, it's Basic.
I'd rather make games in C but I cannot afford the Microsoft C++ cost.
Take a look on my PC game written in C called Back to the Moon, at:

Sabotage requires that you have a copy of BasiCE properly installed in
your HPC. Follow the instructions in the BasiCE documentation to
install it correctly.

BasiCE was developed by Dean Gienger (deang@usa.net). It's a full
implementation of the BASIC language for Microsoft Windows CE.
BasiCE features include support for floating point, long variable
names, procedures, functions, a user extensible run time extension
library, and the ability to draw graphics.
Get you BasiCE at http://www.ziplink.net/~maxm/windowsce/software.html
Thanks Dean.

The editor I used was Jimmy's Notepad (jimmy@jimmy.com).
Visit Jimmy at http://www.jimmy.com and get your copy, as well several
other goodies, many of them for free.
Thanks Jimmy.

Installing and Running Sabotage:

After downloading it unzip the file and copy SABOTAGE.BAS to the BASICE
directory in your HPC. Launch BasiCE and use the menu options FILE,
OPEN, and select SABOTAGE.BAS.
When the "Ready" prompt appears, just type GO and Enter, or use the
menu options CONTROL and RUN.
If you have problems running Sabotage, feel free to drop me a mail at
the address below.

If you got the version 1.0 during November 12-14, try this new version
with improved timming and speed.
