Re: Falfus, new game for Second Sight

It's good to see someone writing for the Second Sight capable IIgs.  I
played the game this morning for an hour.  Pretty clever.  Is this a 
clone of game already available for other platforms?  I've enjoyed it 
so far.  Haven't had time for levels 10, 11, and 12 yet but I'll 
probably try them next week.

Actually, a puzzle game is a good idea for the Second Sight.  Card 
games would probably be good too.  Anything that didn't require moving
a lot of bitmaps at a high FPS speed.

Actually, I had been thinking that hooks for using Second Sight 
screens for Hypercard would be a neat add-on for Hypercard.  Perhaps 
an XCMD.

Anyway, neat demo.  I'll be looking forward to seeing this game 
finished.
