    Sorry. But! You can do what ever you want with the code! It is free and
    yours to play with. 

    Oh and by the way, you'll need allegro to compile it.

TROUBLESHOOTING / FAQ

    Q: The gamepad/joystick acts strange. Pulls in wrong directions aso.
       What is wrong?
    A: During setup your gamepad/joystick will be initialised and calibrated.
       Don't touch it! Let it be still while the game is in setup-mode.
