>Backround
Read GameBuster.txt for all the operating information.

>Why should I make my game Game Buster compatible?
In future versions of Game Buster, I hope to include a list of Game Buster
programs with the codes and stuff.  This is a sort of free advertising.
Think of it, you could be famous.  Someone sees your program on a list,
downloads it, loves it, worships you, you conquer the world!  What could
be easyer?  Plus, isn't it cool?

>So, how do I make games GB compatible?
All the active Game Buster codes are stored in listGB.  Just check this list
for certian NUMRIC codes, and turn on the respective cheat.  For example, if
the code 384823 stood for everlasting life (and there is more than one way to
do this) at the begining of the program check listGB 1-6 for 384823, if found
set veriable A (just as example) to 1 and, delete list GB.  I would then set
the life variable to 99.  Then, wherever a life is subtracted, check variable
A and if it equals 1, add a life.  This is just an example and, you may think
up some easier, more efficiant example and, if so, mail me.  Anyway, I hope
this get's the point across.  If not, mail me and I can answer your
questions, or do it for you, or whatever.

>How do I get on said "list"?
E-mail me at Integer@Post.com.  Remember to include the name of your program,
your web address (if applicable), and codes.  If you like, just send me a
copy of your BASIC program and I'll put some codes in.  Yep.  I will.

>I heard version 2 will support alpha-codes, how will this work?
A will equal 1, B 2, C 3, and so on.  You then multiply everything.

For example...
CB = 3(2) = 6
10CD = 10(3)4 = 120

You can start planning this now, just be sure to release the numric version 
untill v2 comes out.


>What do you have planned for future releases?
Well, one thing I'd like to do is add support for alpha, what's it called...
letters.  I also want to reduce the actual size of the package because, yes
I'll admit it, I threw a bunch of... poop... into the source code.  Why, I
don't know.  Other than that, it's kind of up to you, the developers, and
the users.  If there's anything that would make life easier, mail me at
Integer@Post.com.
