Novus

For the last 4 hours, for debugging purposes, I've been playing a game with myself - Novus. I wonder, is it possible to go crazy this way?
By the way, here's a super-mega-secret screenshot for you. Strictly insider information! Fortunately, the boss won't give me any crap, because in this case, the boss is me. The pockets (holes) are wonky, because PowerPoint saves wmf wonkily, and I don't have another vector editor with wmf support.

A wooden game board, similar to carrom, with four black corner pockets and a central circle. Red and black discs are scattered on the board, and a tilted striker is visible, ready to hit.

I've launched into a flurry of activity here - I'm tweaking an old version pulled from subversion, trying to understand why there's no glitch in it. And as soon as I wrote to you that I'm going crazy, a hypothesis about the bug instantly popped up. The game glitches with a pico-error if it's run under the debugger. And behaves perfectly otherwise.
So Microsoft gets to live for now, the excuse is more or less valid after all.
