Right before two days of relaxing from univercity, I will have a very
nice game to play! Can't wait to play a new JSW64 game. For the last
half-year I was playing only UMM!

Where did you meet "jerked" movement? I don't understand when
somebody mention it!

Great plans!! Nice job for Andrew to make a notice about these ...
hm, few games )

Yep, me too. Driving home today, I realized, that I really wish to
create a simple JSW game! I understand that I wish to create a game
with 48k memory, 64 rooms and one guardian table). I want to
experiment with room design more, then with the sprite graphics in it.
Probably, it will contain rooms, dedicated to the history of the art
graphical design. To begin with early soviet design and finish with
design of late 70. Using of quirky features and quirky abilities of
JSW - are promised. I even plan to put a sign on the title screen:
Warning - heavy usage of QUIRKY features, to make all those Dunny's
smoke nerviously in the toilet room =)

Wait for your game to play it!
