Many thanks for this Clo.

Thanks MRM and now I know what you guys and girls go through to give us entertainment which after finishing I was completely right about from the beginning, it is different being on the other side of the fence but before this I have messed about and pulled layouts apart to understand (kept the originals of course) and has been going on for many months, it all basically started with Slasher who kept pushing me and got me on Team Viewer which meant it was a bit more easier to learn as felt like he was sitting next to me.

Thanks, i love The Great Escape!

I started in the beginning of the lockdown last year and thought I'd see if I could work out how to get the red lights on the old Volcano layout. When I managed this I thought I'd have a look at how to do a real machine with images and downloaded GIMP image editor and had a play and have learned so much, like yourself, I didn't realise how much was involved with the DX's but now also have an appreciation on how much work goes into the classic layout in the first place.

I remember my first one, it was Volcano and a massive learning curve, as you have found too. I had further problems in that the old laptop I was using kept restarting randomly, which meant I had to keep quitting out of it after every 2 changes or so, just in case it crashed again. I have made many mistakes in the past so don't be too hard on yourself People have helped me with some of my issues, including the late fantastic Wizard himself and I didn't really realise it was him until after a few conversations with him.

Believe it was a lot of headache as it was my first try and have missed a couple of other things out but was pushed around by @bungle so much I didn't have a choice, glad he did tbh. That was my mistake but I have resubmitted it, uploaded the wrong file.

To say this is your first release, what a great start! Loving the machine and the graphics etc. I did notice that when I pressed 0, sometimes it inserted a 20p and sometimes a £1 coin. What I did was edit the 20p coin slot to use number 9 on the keyboard for the 20p coin insert and leave 0 as the £1 coin insert. Just a very minor thing but the game itself is brilliant. Many thanks indeed
