That part I get, I'm just a little shakey with sticking them all into  
a list together, I'll have to look at how the drawables go in a list  
even though they're different types.  I was also trying to think of  
how to avoid

if(type=="ball")
	add(new Ball);
else if(type=="paddle")
	add(new Paddle);
else...

for all the different object types in DCBlap.  Right now I have a  
linked list of "templates" that get copied over into the new object  
when it's created, which was the advantage to copying function  
pointers around.

Eek!  Damn you, global variables!  TikiBlap started with an older  
copy of the DCBlap tree, and then over the weekend I found an archive  
with a much newer tree.  I merged in the "out of bounds" stuff from  
the newer tree, but forgot to reset the world dimensions when you  
start a new map.  The ball can sometimes get pushed outside of the  
world if a powerup spawns too close to the edge (like at the top of a  
breakout map), so the out of bounds message resets the board as kind  
of a do-over.
