       | Fantastically mesmerizing to watch. Islands occur more often than
       | I expected and the day vs night counter at the bottom is a great
       | touch. The color scheme is well done as well. Seemingly perfect
       | for something like Wallpaper Engine (which supports web pages, if
       | one wants to do this then grab the source and modify the canvas
       | size as desired). Simple, elegant, well done.

       | Regarding the name Atari is very protective of the "Pong"
       | trademark and many small projects (free does not exclude it) have
       | ended up with a notice. It's best to just name it something
       | original and generic from the start e.g. dawn duelers (or
       | preferably something more clever :)).

         | The whole thing is one single 238 line html file, that contains
         | everything; the html, css, and javascript.
