Here is where we let the cat out of the bag. Load back the program you saved to tape last issue, and enter the following BASIC lines. You will end up with a completely self-documenting arcade-style game program. For those of you who figured out how the game works, congratulations! For those of you who didn’t, don’t feel too bad. You were good sports for putting up with SWN’s warped sense of humour.

In case our printer decides to darken the listing, here are the inverse graphics and letters…
