Cookie is a Ti83 and TI83+ conversion of the (in)famous game for the
Sinclair Spectrum. The concepts of Cookie are copyright Ultimate Play
the Game, or Rareware as they are now known I think. I have tried to
go for accuracy in this conversion.

Feedback Request : In the introductory animation (the chase) how much of
this can you see on your calculator ; is it clear, slightly blurred, or
almost invisible ?

Why do I want to know this ? Well, I am beginning to think that my TI83
has a duff screen (maybe due to the version). I had to slow Cookie down
quite a bit to get the game to be playable on a real calculator :(

The object of the game is to knock the ingredients into the bowl by throwing
flour bombs at them. However, if you knock the junk into the bowl, you have
to put in more ingredients to counterbalance it. You score points for
putting ingredients in the bowl, and junk in the trashcan. Collision with
anything is fatal, and you get an extra life for every 1,000 points.

It isn't the most exciting game ever, but it is a pretty small program
(about 2.5k) and a bit of a blast for a few minutes. Have fun !

This game is a blitz ; I started it yesterday :) So there might be a few
more bugs than usual.

A re-release two days later fixed a couple of silly things and added the "hard"
game.
