Some years ago Andrew Davie suggested this idea in his programming tutorial. It seemed like an interesting idea, so I worked up an implementation. Here is a newer revision than the one I posted over there.

To-do list:
1. Fix speedup mechanism so that it doesn't eventually roll over and become very slow
2. Randomize column speeds and starting lengths
3. Score and game-over
4. Sound
5. Paddle control

Wow. The ooze effect is excellent! ... and kinda gross!

I can't get this to play in Z26x on the Xbox. :/

Thanks! I am happy with the results on that front, especially as the speed starts to pick up. I thought one-line resolution was important for this one.

KevinMos3: I'll check it on z26-Linux. That will be the closest I can get for now.

Nice start!
