    [VB6] Penny Arcade

    *** Improvements as of 12/28/05 ***

    BUGFIXES
    ----------
    -Fixed a bug with the game halting when the Air Crisis help screen is called (must have been slow in the head that day; used bRunning to break the game totally instead of loading the help screen as Modal) <- 12/28/05
    -Fixed the slight delay with the controls (switched from the GetKeyState API to DirectInput) <- 12/24/05.

    CHANGES
    ----------
    -Smaller .zip files after compressing the .wavs to .mp3 (used 48-bit for the bitrate when compressing the wavs. This results in a smaller file without too much quality loss)
    -Switched from DirectSound to DirectShow to play the .mp3s (thanks to Jacob Romain's tutorial that he was kind enough to link to).

    PENNY ARCADE
    ---------------
    -All three of the main game screens have their own backgroud music.
    -If you hover your mouse over the picture buttons a tooltip appears with the name of the games.
    -Both of the games are accessable from the menu within the games.

    AIR CRISIS
    -----------
    -Flickerfree Graphics (thanks to the BitBlt API).
    -High Scores are stored in the registry.
    -The gem's speed increases every 5 points.
    -Help Screen
    -Pause

    TIC-TAC-TOE
    --------------
    This is just a basic tic-tac-toe game for two players. There's no special features.

    Any graphical buttons that I put in look like crap. Probably should just put a message that pops up to press a button to start the game.

    If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or find any bugs that I didn't root out feel free to post them here.
