       from the right.  By shooting at them with your laser you can heat them until they explode.

GURU MEDITATION (Errors)

       Error messages (aka  software  failures)  are  usually  reported  by  a  so  called  "guru
       meditation".  The guru meditation will be displayed in the top of the screen in a blinking
       border. If this happens please send in a bug report and provide the colour of  the  border
       (red,  yellow,  green,  blue) and the two hex numbers after the hash ('#'). This will help
       greatly in locating the failure.
