1. The AngryBirds thing. I’m not about 80% convinced that all was just a co-incidence.
My iPod played up whilst Angry Birds was on, the game went away, the problem went away, the game came back, a different issue occurred.
So, perhaps it was just some odd occurrence.
Who knows.
The author’s been back+forthing me on Twitter, and he’s not quite sure, either, but is also happy to put it down to “Just a co-incidence”.
If it turns out not to be, you heard it here, first

Go play Angry Birds!

2. Music settings are now in a .ini file.
Download
This is the theme from Pipeline (Superior Software) which you might also recognise from a few of my games.
Thing is, this is full of little loops, and can easily be taken apart and reconstructed in multiple ways. Because of this, I’ve got a half-a-dozen versions of it, and it’s great for ingame music.
Now it’ll carry on looping about indefinitely.
Cool!

And as a test, it works great.
Still playing with those instruments, mind, trying to find just the right selection.
And I really oughta get rid of that tempo-reliant drumloop, so’s I can start playing around with the tempo some more..
