rope+fuse = superweapon

[Andrew Davie]

The fuse, recently implemented, shortened and lengthened the "rope" as the fuse got shorter. That was pretty cool - see earlier video. I went back to the rope, but kept the lengthen shorten code - by accident, really - and adjusted the particle generation a bit. And now we have this just super-cool looking and incredibly fun/destructive weapon that lets you just decimate everything on the screen. It's actually quite fun, and that pulsing effect is way interesting; it doesn't look like rope or math at all anymore. Just some really weird superweapon. So neat.

You know what this reminds me a bit of?  The aliens from Edge of Tomorrow

Yesterday I had the idea that the rope would be perfect for a kind of Dig Dug. Everything is a bit bigger than in the arcade version, but so is the implementation of Boulder Dash for the 2600. The digging already fits and the enemies are now also in the water etc.
