Check this out, I was bored this afternoon and playing around with Turing trying to make a flying spaceship and ended up with this..... lol

PS The controls are in the readme.txt inside the zip file.

EDIT:

That particular instruction is not in the readme...

Good program, some suggestions:
1. Look up View.Update and offscreenonly
2. You could have used this cool window shake function which was posted - I think Delos made it.  It would make the clear screen thing look more effective.

What would I use View.Update for in the etch-a-sketch?

Nice program, I like the graphic of the etch-a-sketch, and the shake thing is very nice. I'm not sure View.Update is all that useful to you, as I'm guessing you're drawing a line, and not using cls, though I could be wrong.

When clearing the screen.  Hold q and you'll see what I mean.  Just add a View.Update and it'll look much better.

If you permamently lost the source code from your harddrive then why not redownload the source from the forums :?.  There are advantages to uploading your source! :).

It shouldn't be too hard to just add View.Update to that code.
