Hi all (especially sysop),

I've just released an optimized build of tarsweeper to the bbs. This update won't affect terminal users significantly, but for users with limited character rates (on the glitchtech website or on dialup) playing competitively will be easier.


The Changes:
Very little has been changed; just the elimination of a few extra full screen redraws. Now the game won't redraw the entire board when you use the easy-start feature. Additionally, the double-redraw that occurs when you lose has been patched.

A small change from the last update that was not documented: the death animation has been removed, making the gameplay smoother with less pauses (at suggestion from lotti loot).


Hopefully this'll bring tarsweeper up to the top of the door games list.
