This sounds fine to me. If DEMOTIME is greater than -1, I'll count
down, once it hits 0 the stage ends... Great Idea!!
Giark can simply set DEMOTIME in the Main Code and it will
apply to all stages...

Yeah, I wondered about that. 30-seconds sounded good, but the
overall 2 1/2 minutes does sound a bit long. Maybe go with 15-20
seconds per stage. Anyway, using your idea Giark can set the
timer to give just enough of a "taste" to hook people...

Very good... I will go ahead and implement this in my stage also.
The "DEMO TIMER = XX" sounds good as well. I'll put that right in
the status bar using the "oh so simple" Print command...
--------<SLIGHTLY NEW SUBJECT BEGINS HERE>--------
Giark, are you still alive? I post a message bristling with frustration
and you are right there giving encouragement, but I haven't heard
anything about the MUSIC and DEMO support...
Anyway, I will implement the MUSIC support based on the status
of CB_MUSIC (that's the name I'm using unless told otherwise)
Basically, I'll replace the main sounds calls with BUBBA_FX and
BUBBA_SP and the other sounds will be conditioned in with
If Not(CB_MUSIC)
Sound Played Here
End If
Also, I'll use DEMOTIME to count down the demo...
Take care,
GARFIELD
