Mine was on a similar game, GORILLA.BAS. I would edit the banana code for a much bigger explosion. Lots of fun back in computer class!

The difference being that editing the source code was the point of the BASIC examples provided with DOS/QBasic/GW-Basic (they’re there to teach you programming!)

We added other weapons to make a poor mans scorched earth as we were only allowed to make games.
My school had a similar loophole: game weren’t allowed in the computer lab, unless you wrote it yourself…
I removed collision detection so I could throw bananas through buildings
Where would we be without computer class
Something I wonder! Grateful :D
