The skiers view: notice the V (skier) is placed 50 lines up the screen ($skiery = $y - 50;) while the Ts show up at the bottom and scroll upward so the skier can see whats coming with time to avoid. Until other obstacles show up like "YELLOW SNOW" which is a wall of characters to avoid or "ROCK" which is only 4 characters to avoid. This to come after I work out how to tell if the V hits an existing character. :P

I think my 9 year old and his henchmen will be amused. (For about 5 minutes)
