Thanks for the compliments on the game and GAMBAS. Here is the latest 
project build:

One known bug is that when you switch to fullscreen by pressing F 
sometimes the keyboard stops responding. I think it may be an SDL 
component. If that happens hit Alt-F4 or use the gamepad "back" and 
"select" buttons to quit the program using the in-game menu ("Shore 
Leave"). Bug reports can be sent to sylph at eightvirtues dot com.

You can toggle both the debug display and music at any time by pressing F1.

If you have a game pad, it will work automatically but you might want to 
map the buttons once in-game ("Flight Control").

Number keys 0-9 create NPC ship types of the corresponding number.

"K" kills the NPC ship at the bottom of the Ship[] array.

"F9" and "F10" immediately advance to previous or next stage.

"F11" immediately defeats current stage.

Both arrow and WASD keys work during flight and in menu. Space Bar 
selects, but Enter/Return does nothing.

This release is for the GAMBAS mailing list. No Tweet or anything. So 
enjoy, hopefully! :)
