In its current form its not really powerfull, its slow and often
misses enemies, in fact I already got the request to make it more
powerfull again. One could make it even less powerfull by making some
enemies immune against fireballs (ie. everything with a steal helmet
or so).

Backscrolling in its current form is only usefull for debugging, not
for gameplay, checkout Yoshis Island to see why, ie. the place to look
forward is far to small, it should be larger than half of the screen,
but that doesn't work with the current code.

First of all it would be good to know for what to use scripting
language. Its nice for scripting triggers, but for badguys you would
have to export a shitload of C++ functions first to make scripting
usefull, which in itself would be a huge boring task.

In standard Yoshis Island way, ie. press down while in air.
