Now with Lyrics.
This version adds timed lyrics to the menu screen. The tune that I have doesn't actually include the bridge passage in the song so this isn't included. Press a key to move to the main menu - or wait until the end of the lyrics.
Also I found a corruption issue that might have caused the failures on restart - I've also made the reset slightly more robust. It appears to work for me - please let me know if there are further issues.
I've introduced a very slight drift towards the centre of the screen on the ghost capture screen - hopefully this will prevent the ghost being "caught" in the corner. In order to do that I had to make some more space so I have moved the random number generator into the Cassette filing system workspace. Since that gave me a bit more than I needed I've changed the scroll routine to use self modifying indexed absolute addressing instead of offset addressing which is 2 cycles faster per byte. This means it will be slightly smoother and cause less slowdown when there's lots going on.
Next would seem to be the bouncy ball and any remaining issues people find.
