SDL Sand
-----------------
The SDL Sand game (The Falling SDL-Sand Game) is a C++ implementation of the
original 'World of
Sand' (and later 'Hell of Sand') game implemented in JAVA. SDL Sand uses the SDL
(Simple DirectMedia
Library - http://www.libsdl.org/) library for screen output. Therefore the
implementation can
possibly run on every platform supported by SDL.

The aim is to create a faster implementation of the game and possibly extend its
features.
