Nice stuff! Though I was a bit confused about the prize being a battleship
rather than a car!
One quick point, staying focused on compactedness of code. If you have a
web/reb site, you could put your images up on that and use
load-thru
to access them. So the script is just 3 or 4k, and the first time I run it,
it downloads the PNGs. Later runs will find the images in Rebol's cache.
You could even get the script down to about 1 K by compressing it, and having
the main program look like:
Rebol []
do load decompress #{...script...}
If anyone wants a copy of Mario's script (31K WinZip file), and it's already
tomorrow, please email me privately,
Sunanda.
