DESCRIPTION

       Use  the  space key to start a new game.  You have to dodge the rocks that come flying in from the right.
       By shooting at them with your laser you  can  heat  them  until  they  explode.   The  shield  makes  you

       recharges only slowly.

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.
