Phoenix 204k bug analysed and fixed!

Post by kranser »

Hi all,

Here's another excellent article by Don Hodges:
http://donhodges.com/phoenix.htm

He has worked out what is going wrong with the 204k bug - and it is a very interesting read.

It seems that shooting 3 birds in row was never considered in the program code. So no Easter egg in the game design and no special bonus planned for shooting the 3 birds!

Thanks for the info, the bug revealed confirms it was not intentional.
