Thanks! Actually, the real person to thank would be Bill Kendrick
(nb...@so...), as he was the one who really brought the game from
concept to a working application (all I did was suggest it as an idea
and draw some artwork for it ;-)

Actually, I think that feature is included right now, but you have to
add it as a command-line option. In the future, there will be an easier
way to access it from an "Options" menu of some sort.

Are you running it under Windows, Mac OS, or Linux?

Right now, we are aware of a problem with the sound when running it
under Microsoft Windows. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it can make
the sound very grating.

But thanks for the suggestion, we'll see what we can do ;-)
