So what is a Beta Tester?

When we write software we spend hours and hours running the program looking for things that don't do what they are suppose to do. When we find something, we fix it and then we keep testing over and over.

Then just when you think you have found everything that could possible go wrong, you try it out on someone who knows nothing about your program and right away they start doing things you never thought to do. Usually they break it.

This is a good thing. You want your project to work no matter what people do to it. So having friends who are willing to put it through its paces is very helpful.

I am hoping I can get people like you who will enjoy the game and let me know when they see things that don't seem right.

For example, the current version of the game, v0.012 beta, has a little bug in it that actually helps you win the game. If you put a bear in the last position of your drop row and it slips off the bottom of the game without hitting any targets, the column next to it slides down a notch for free! You didn't even touch it and it clears the bottom target for you. It isn't suppose to do that. Those are the things my beta testers are going to tell me about.
