To be again more than honest and transparent (and please vote for me,
ahem, noooooo), it uses the screen locations for mouse information, a
stupid thing but something which might have been the only one
available at that time...

I recall the game was stolen from an AppleFest and the project
cancelled before it was sold to the public...

And I still believe the author is a French guy... Please correct me if
I'm wrong (that is how we progress) but the code looks like the
Airball one. It is not only a matter of compiler...

Over time, with my numerous cracks (Hey man, count them.... too many,
Lady, go back to the shower), I think I have developed the ability of
determining the programmer, the language and the compiler.
