Nice!
To clarify, this was in a gamepack that inspired mine by DJ_O that he made in 2002, I think.  I made a version of it, and Zeda copied that version to produce her version. :)

Looks great! :D

hehe, yeah, what he said :D I mentioned in the readme that DJ made it in 2002 and then it was in Homescreen Game Pack and that I got the idea there, too, just to make double sure :D

Zeda: Maybe you could include BatLib App in the folder when you upload it :)

Awesome job eitherway.

Wow, that's really fast! Was this done with Batlibs functions, or Recode? Looks nice either way. =)

Mainly Recode.

yeah, it is all ReCode at this point :)

I normally would do that, since BatLib continues to be updated, if I upload a version with a program, it will soon be outdated :) Plus, if users already have the latest copy, I don't want them to have to reinstall a downgraded version :D

Ok, then just including the link in the readme is fine :)

This seems nice. Only thing: I would include the old title screen or a variation of it I think, and I would make controls a bit slower, since it seems very sensitive.

Hmm, what did the old title screen look like? And I definitely agree that the controls are a bit sensitive :/ Before I had it so it wasn't very sensitive, so I think I over corrected. I think the controls are easier on an actual calc, though XD

It is very sensitive.  Whenever I press a button, the hole flies to the side.  :P  (It does add to the challenge factor, though.)
Btw, is there a way to change the cpu speed in the game?

No, but the cpu is set to 6MHz mode because it was absolutely ridiculous at 15 MHz. If you want, you can change the line that starts to FullFill(0 to:
:Full
Fill(0→...
That should let you try out 15 MHz XD

Edit: Uploaded a 15MHz screeny :D

It doesn't seem *that* hard.

Yeah, I managed to get a score of 38 on an actual calc, though 15MHz is rather difficult. Also, I tried adding a Pause 1 in the loop and it made the controls a bit easier.
EDIT: a byte easier :P

Have you thought of adding a Shade( or a Line(0,96,0,64,1 command to turn the screen black randomly at times (frequence rises with time) to spice up things a little bit? I made that in Blockeat, but it's not the kind of game for it, whereas Balltrix is.
