//Hold down your mouse on the left and	//
//right sides of the screen to move 	//
//the stone. The closer you are to the  //
//edge of the screen, the more force 	//
//you'll have. Let go of the mouse to 	//
//let gravity take over. 				//
//										//
//None of the variables are typed, so	//
//I ran into some huge speed problems	//
//when doing the audio stuff on 		//
//thousands of samples. Because of that //
//this toy requires a pretty fast 		//
//computer to run smoothly.				//
