This is an OBJECT CONDITION routine that is used on a button 
on a contol panel to start a countdown sequence ( as used in my
recent game  "War of the worlds" ).This could be used in a game
where a player has started a rocket ignition sequence off.All 
the text is displayed to text instrument number one that is made 
up of two lines ( one above the other ),each line is 14 
spaces/characters long.Sound 7 is a suitable siren/warning sample 
and Sound 8 is a rocket/engine sample.It is important to get the 
blank spaces exact as in this listing so that the numbers in the 
countdown sequence move from right to left as they decrease in 
value.

DELAY (150)                                gives chance to read

I know that it's a long listing but it is the only way
to write and show the listing properly.You  could even cut this 
block of text out and import it straight into kit 2.

AND THERES MORE...........


This is a routine to make a series of circles pulsating inwards 
into the middle of the screen as used if a person has picked up a 
special weapon with pulsating firing sights.It could be used as a 
LOCAL or OBJECT CONDITION.
