Whats the name of this arcade game?

I'm trying to find out the name of an old arcade game I used to play.
It is similar to AfterBurner, but it is with a helicopter instead.

I was wondering, rather than using .dat files, or memory (which would only work the time you use/play the game), is it possible to use SQLlite?

Fixture Lists

I remember building a football management game in Qbasic about 10-12 years ago; it wasn't all that fancy, just a rolling of a dice with a really good contract/management system.

Tile-based map games on Blitz2D

9th November 2009

Regarding Waypoints.
My idea is that the AI players are attempting to do the same task/objective you're doing; as well as instructing NPC's to do tasks/objectives.

No, apologies for the mis-understanding.
Originally I was trying to just output the "on" state for the stars, but combining the "off" and "on" state looks much better.
I will try the solution provided by Teasy to see if this will resolve my problem.

How do you convert RGB to Hex as seen in web CSS colors in Blitz?
ie: 255, 255, 255 = FFFFFF
I tried using the Hex() function but it doesn't return the correct values.
Are you meant to add the R,G and B together, or something?
