Background
A long time ago I was given a TRS-80 Model 100. I spent a ton of time learning how to program it and writing little programs in its dialect of BASIC.
One of the games I recall making was like this one - flying through blocks that you have to avoid. In particular, the blocks moved in a discrete fashion down the screen, which allowed you to time your moves.
This game is intended to look and feel similar to (how I remember) playing that game on the Model 100.
Note: the "spaceship" is not part of the Model 100 character set, so I did cheat there.

Really liked the game. I've never had Model 100, so for me this game throwbacks to the old 9999-in 1 pocket tetris :)
It would be nice to add some sound to the game.
P.S. High score 283 ;)
Thank you! That's a pretty good score!
