Oh my goodness thanks for letting me know that. That sort of thing is so
befuddling! The fact that debugging a POV-Ray scene isn't usually so mysterious
is one of the things that I love most about it. In the case of the Centipede
game, I'm using the standard keyboard and mouse functions so the fact that
they're not working is quite perplexing. One thing I did do is copy POV-Ray's
"Render Priority" feature. The program puts itself into HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS (I'm
hoping that helps guarantee smoother animation) but that *shouldn't* cause
keyboard and mouse issues. Using the highest priority level
"REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS" is known to cause system instability but I'm using the
level below that which is supposed to be safe. But we all know how goofy Windows
is so maybe that could be an issue. I'll drop it down to
"ABOVE_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS" after the introduction screen is done scrolling
and hope that solves the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience Sir, but I
certainly appreciate the feedback.

Kind regards,
Dave Blandston
