Hi, I might have been a little bit too enthusiastic before having 
actually tried the program. As it is now, I really don't see any use for 
it, hence I don't see any reason why it should be included in any 
distribution (be it FreeDOS or other). It's not really a game, since we 
can hardly call a game something that requires the user to decipher the 
source code to be able to even start the application. Terminal Matrix is 
currently an interesting showcase at best, not a usable game.

Of course I might be wrong on that, so I eagerly wait for the rest of 
the FreeDOS community to prove me wrong.

Anyway, please do not take this the wrong way - I briefly looked at your 
source code, and you are obviously skilled in what you do. It's also 
obvious that you have put a lot of time and effort in this project, 
which is why I can only recommend concentrating this effort into 
something that could be truly useful/interesting/fun to FreeDOS users.

The closest thing to Terminal Matrix that comes to mind is the Eliza 
simulator for DOS from the eighty's - but Terminal Matrix is yet very 
far from it from a usability point of view.
