Loop De Loop

Here's a driving game with a difference for Spectrum owners. It's set
in a fairground, and you have to steer the roller coaster through nine
different hazards, each of which has only one path through it. This is
like no other game of its kind that you have seen or played before.
The steering of the car is all done in super-fast machine code and is
amazingly smooth; but don't worry about typing in the machine code 
separately as it's all included in the BASIC listing here.

The screens are arranged in difficulty order, so luckily there's a
demo mode so that you can see what you're missing if you can't get
past the first few screens. Nigel, who wrote it, says that he has over
50 different sheets at home, so watch out for additions to the program
in a future edition of C&VG. 

Use keys Q, A, O and P to steer. Any key on the bottom row will apply
the brakes until you press one of the direction keys. Time is
displayed during the game in tenths of a second, but on the Hall of
Fame it's shown in seconds. The record time is 98.8 seconds - so what
are you waiting for?
