wILD! This is exactly the kind of 'game' that I was hoping to develop--battling
INC's that go into some kind of animation. I was trying a golf game, but I could
NOT prevent some 1-5% of the balls from falling through the surface. It's on the
back shelf.

So make a web site or something to tell us more about the algorithm, etc.....
