^4 One of our `jobs' as[2 ~SPARX'[0 is the putting together of the disks on
^4the[2 AMOS[0 P.D. Library. Over the last few months we have noticed that
^4there are a few names that pop up quite regularly as contributors.
^4although none of them have quite made Licenseware yet, if they keep
^4on trying, the next thing they write could be the one to make the
^4grade.

^5 We hope that by mentioning them on[2^3 SPOTLIGHT,[0^5 they will be
^5encouraged to keep on writing, and not give up programming. This
^5magazine is for programmers of all abilities, but with the beginner
^5or `improver' in mind. After all, it has only been a year since our
^5first program was finished, so we know how frustrating it can be
^5trying to get things to work.

^6 Ben Ashley has been sending programs into the library for quite a
^6while now, we are told that he's one of the younger programmers,
^6being a mere thirteen years old. Ben hopes that one day he will get a
^6program onto Licenseware, and from what we've seen so far, if he
^6keeps improving at the speed he is at present, then this will happen
^6one day.

^7 Having looked at the `inside' of the programs, we can see that Ben
^7is a very neat coder, and has the potential of writing a real goody
^7one day, if he carries on his interest with Amos.

^2 Ben's work can be found on:-

^1[2 A.P.D. 206.[0 Depeche Mode Demo. An animated little concert.
             ^1Unpleasant Ways to Die. This shows 5 animations of not
^1the nicest ways to stop living. It's quite funny if you've a sick
^1sense of humour!

[2^6 A.P.D. 218.[0 AMOS PROGRAMS 15.
             ^6Megabase 2.2 a database.
             ^6Hit the Target - (written with Nick & Matt Tucker) A
^6simple fairground shooting game.
             ^6Give'em Hell - you can have an aircraft, helicopter,
^6tank or jeep, red plays green and you shoot the life out your enemy.

^2 Next release is MOON RESCUE - rescue the survivors from the moon and
^2fly home. Playable Demo out soon.
