This is a simple implementation of Daleks, a old game first written (as far
as I know) by John and Walter Wu (although I didn't use any of their source
code). You are being chased around by very stupid robots who want to kill
you for some strange reason. (You probably forgot to back up their memory
cores last night, didn't you? How inconsiderate!) Fortunately, these
robots are complete idiots. They always head straight for you, and with a
little strategy, you can cause them to crash into each other, turning
expenisive machinery into piles of rubble. (always a good time!)

Requirements:
I think anything with a 640x480 screen will do fine, but I could be wrong.
Just try it and find out.

2.0 changes:
I have moved the code into the MacZoop application framework, so now it has
the standard Mac OS GUI.
I added animation & made a menu so you can turn it on & off.
I made the window slightly shorter so you can see the bottom isn't being
cut off on 640x480 monitors.
I put an about box in.

This is "send me something cool" ware. Check the version history for some
ideas.

The Mac is Back!
