I think so as well. Although there are more and more complains now. :) I
just hope they won't roll back! What is going on is that lots of people
seems to have thought they could easily get a price by making a little
game (which wasn't wrong in the initial conditions), and now they claim
they "can't" participate anymore. Ahhh money...

We'll have to present the game, and maybe some "slides". In this case,
hey, why not doing a live Adonthell pres? I mean, with a cute Python
script that demonstrates the elements of the game along with the nice
text (using the new Window system of course!) The preference for the
presentation is French however, which shouldn't be a problem since Joel
and I will be there, but It'd be maybe better if everybody acts during
the pres.

Gottit! ;)

What I think we should have is:

     * The new font system,
     * A french translation (I will help if he's short on time) since
       they "prefer" games that run in French
     * A nice presentation showing how portable, multi-platform,
       multi-language, and so on Adonthell is
     * Ok, ok, I'll remove that pink noise... :p
