Ah, sorry. I was mixing up Damper with Glooper! I see what you mean about the yellow colour clash with the blue. Setting the everything to blue or all to yellow does make the game look very monochrome and dull, so I think I agree with you that the colour clash is the better approach.

Paul is having problems with his web site. See this thread for more information. I suggest you contact him directly and ask, I suspect he will still have some available. He is a member here.

If you need further help, please send me a PM.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

Thanks!
I have a Chroma board and was looking for the programming examples.

A friend of mine was interested in a Chroma board, I'll tell him to contact Paul via PM on here.

I *think* that’s a hint that he’s open for business :lol:

By the way, the information from last year about his web site being off-line is now out of date, it’s been back up for ages now. As I advised in another topic.

So go visit the fruitcake site and have fun :D
