; You can throw snowballs to hit the targets.
; They game ends when Jingle Bells stops playing.
; Use the T key to throw snowballs - hold the T key down longer
; to throw the snowball harder.
; I you press the H key, the snowball will fly flatter.
; You score points for each target that you hit.
;
; (1) Play the game and see whether you can manage 1000 points
; before the time runs out.
;
; (2) Find the KEYDOWN commands, and change them to use different keys.
; Hint - Every key has a number between 1 and 100.
;
; (3) Change the number of points you get for each target.
;
; (4) Make one more target - perhaps a rabbit (poor little bunny!)
; You will need a picture, and you need to add quite a few commands.
; Look at all the SANTA commands, and make similar commands for the bunny.
;=============================================================================
;
; That is probably enough work on this game - it isn't that wonderful.
; Choose one of the SAMPLE games in the HELP section of Blitz Basic.
; Run the game to find out how it works. Then try to figure out changes
; you can make. For example, you could put a picture of yourself
; in place of a picture in the game. Or change how many points you get
; for shooting something. Or make more monsters, or fewer monsters,
; or make yourself invulnerable! Have fun! (but learn something, too)
