Perhaps "AdvertWizard" ought to be about concentrating on printing "throw"

instead of "through", "result is" instead of "results is", etc...?

Err, perphaps someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks to me as if

the reason it is impossible to reach level 4 is that the frame rate on the

animation is too slow to cope with reliable collision detection at higher

ball speeds, rather than through any inherent difficulty of game play.


On a slightly different tack, does anyone know what the actual intelectual

property status of "Breakout" is?
