And back to the original post... I played it and it is pretty fun. At 
$20 online, I think I'll pass for now, but maybe in the future. Since 
sound doesn't work in linux on my laptop, I tried the Windows version in 
Vista and it actually works. Interestingly enough, it seems like the 
game was made by a few computer geeks who formed a small company. They 
make a few other games (cross-compatible) which I'm going to try soon 
also. At $4 a pop, that's a steal IMO.

Well, I'm in my programming class now, and it's back to acting like I'm 
paying attention like I haven't taken the class twice before.

Try the demo out. You might like it.
