fun? sorry if this seems to be off-topic, but where is fun in calling some
library-routines of allegro and watch the "amazing stuff"? the only one
that should be credited for his work is shawn and not the coder that just
pressed the correct 3 buttons...

i don't have anything against libraries, but i don't think if it's that
much fun watching other peoples work and thinking it was done by myself.
this is just more or less a lie...

btw.: 10.000 stars in 60fps are not THAT amazing =)
