Not long after I had that thought I discovered, to my amusement, that someone had beaten me to it. The friendly folks at __ANALOG Computing__ told me one day that a certain David Plotkin had submitted a little ditty called __Bounce in Action!__, which later appeared in issue 20.

However, David's idea of a better __Bounce__ program was different from mine. His improvements consisted of adding GTIA color and, of course, speed (with Action!) to the original design. I #enjoyed# playing with David's program, and I was #pleased# that someone else was as enthusiastic about __Bounce__ as I was. . .I simply had another idea that had to be tried.

First there was __Bounce__, then __Bounce in Action!__, and now I give you __More Fun with Bounce (MFB__ for short).

l had other upgrading in mind, too. Tops on the list was user-friendliness. __MFB__ lets you move the cursor around freely without upsetting the walls or the discs already laid down. Drawing or erasing occurs only when your joystick trigger is held down. To switch between the two functions (drawing: and erasing). simply hit the SPACE BAR.

Laying down the spheres is simplicity itself. just hit the #B# key. A disc appears at the cursor’s position, while the cursor itself moves to the right (so you can keep laying down more). Note that—when drawing, erasing. moving or placing balls— the cursor performs automatic wraparound should it go off the edge of the screen.

An improvement I've always wanted to add to __Bounce__ is to give the user some direct control over the bouncing sphere. ln __MFB__, this feature exists and is called “nudging". When you hit the N key, the ball that the sound focus is on gets nudged. The effect of this is distinct, yet simple — it causes the ball to react as if a vertical wall were momentarily placed directly ahead of it. Essentially, the ball bounces off of a ghost wall.
