How high can you get the ball?

[bikemadness]

For me, this is noteworthy.
The extensive use of gtriangle.
I did'nt really understand it before and never used it.

However, on with the show.
'X' to pull back plunger, pinball action.
Will you see the trick?

303 seems to be about the limit for me

I like the way you've used the gtriangles here to make shaded spheres.
It's a time honoured tradition in Yabasic

[bikemadness]

I must have been subconsciously thinking about it for months, because suddenly, I just got it.

When the light dawns, it's as bright as hell.

[Xone]

just got 308.

Nicely done BM 

[Yaloopy]

308 as well. Great little game to demonstrate some gtriangles.

Good job! Hopefully I can do as good programs like yours.
