You say it's slow? No! it's terribly, awfully SLOOOW! On my aga/060 it takes 0.3-0.4 secs just to renew screen, and all the process is visible - even no doublebuffer!

This piece of software is totally amiga-unfriendly and even does not utilize neither any 'industry-standard' (meaning amiga standard) c2p, nor other amiga-native tricks.

I anticipate quite a normal speed on those 'modern' pegasoses/etc, but what does it mean? Just a peecee-like style of coding: we have a lot of resources, so we can do everything not ever taking care of doing things better and faster...

btw, if you have problems with running it after unzipping (get a message 'file is not executable', eh?), then just take your favourite filemanager (or use cli) and set back flag 'e' onto executable file.

Just another oddity of that amiga (as intended) game - usage of amiga-unfriendly zip archive, that does not support amiga file flags fully... Not saying about the size: the most of that 9 megs is the only animation (18megs unzipped), that is anyway useless (with such an 'FPS' and lack of doublebuffer) - more likely it's a slideshow!
