	I downloaded both as well. There are some things that i would try to
do, if it was my game (caveman). Jump and use club at the same time and
the ability to configure the keyboard (which keys are used to move and
so on). Of course, i have no idea how to do either of these, i'm still
learning c++. Well, that's it. I didn't play it much, just the first
level. I think i'm gonna try to figure out some of the source for mazes
though.
