Hi n00b,
True, if you point the laser directly into the middle of your ship the program crashes, Division by Zero easy fix.
But who would do that?
Perhaps one driven insane by the noise of the laser made when holding down the mouse button.
I am working out timing issues at SdlBasic forum where Rick also made comments about holding down mouse button eg it makes shooting down the targets too easy.
If this is a fun little diversion, mission accomplished! Some people are amused by popping bubble wrap.
