Historically I have experienced quite bad intermittent drops in sound quality running XRoar on Windows but I have to say, for a while now sound has been spot on with no stability problems whatsoever.

A quick glance at the source reveals I did change the code to end the game prematurely when you reach the rank of Flagon Lord.
Seems a bit mean of me, so I'll probably update it along with a few other little tweaks.

Interesting. I''l need to check the src to see if I capped the score at 64 - Flagon Lord, on the later version. As Rob says, it was certainly possible to go higher on the first version.

Interesting.

Sounds good to me.

sorchard showed me a simple method for determining whether a machine is PAL or NTSC by timing a video frame (in case that's useful) but obviously not all Dragons are PAL and not all CoCos are NTSC.

Great update! Thanks sixxie.

Welcome Dean. Always good to see new forum members.

A.K.Dewdney was a notable Canadian mathematician and computer scientist (amongst other things). It's highly possible you've read an article of his but probably not in the pages of Dragon User.

Great! Thanks Stew.
