Author's Description: This is just a very simple demo game produced for programmers new to Allegro. It includes implementation of simplified physics, score keeping, double buffering, an intro screen, ini file reading, and some basic game design concepts in action. The version is only "0.4" because it's meant as an exercise in modifying/completing a simple game into something more complete.

In terms of content, the player uses a robotic arm to shoot hoops, play jacks, and toss a ball at a moving target.

Note: If you leave a review, please think of it as a learning resource made available for beginners, and not as a finished project for entertainment purposes.
