-
- The game source should not be taken as an example of programming
- style, but more of an example how to use the Sprite Toolkit routines.
-
- If you have any comments, suggestions, bug reports (and fixes since I
- gave you the source!), let me know. I would also like to hear about
- the programs you create with the aid of the Sprite Toolkit.
