* MonoSpace - Horizontal Shooter game in QBasic by Milo Sedlacek
* =============================================================================
*
* Description by Angelo Mottola (father of the DirectQB library):
* -----------------------------------------------------------------
* Monospace Shooter is one of the best shoot 'em ups you'll find around for QB.
* It features several enemies, power-ups, a final boss, sounds and musics. It
* also features extra weapons, a wonderful control over the player and it's
* incredibly funny to play... Then what's the problem?
* Well, the game runs under screen 9 (high resolution EGA mode - 640x350 with
* 16 colors), uses only one color (only green! That's the meaning of the
* "Monospace" title), and it's even not in full screen mode: you'll have to play
* on a small portion of the video, as you can see in the last screenshot of this
* review. It's also a bit hard to play, and unfortunately it features only a
* level with its final boss. If you don't fear these defects, Monospace Shooter
* remains a small masterpiece of work. Thanks Milo!
*
* Remarks on the Code by Angelo Mottola:
* -----------------------------------------
* The code of this game, though hard to understand, is really a great source
* of inspiration: to speed things up, several assembly routines are used
* to handle the graphics and the player control. To move the player, you use
* the keyboard, and the game features an assembly routine to handle multiple
* keypresses; the FM routines are also a great programming example, as they
* were written from scratch and now they handle musics and sounds... If only
* the game would have a better graphics, it would be perfect! 
*
* Graphics: EGA 640x350 16 colors (only two Colors used)
* Sounds  : FM music and sound effects
