My internet is stil down, so I connect to the wwworld on my local
library. So this reply will be rather short. But I think I will chose
the following:

Atlantis
Fishy
Infestival
Ink and Oil
Liquid Dream
Pizza Face
Playfield
Sinusoid
Strange new world
Subflower

But you're welcome to add/remove from the list, if you want.

It looks real pretty. I wonder how it works technically. I mean, I can
understand the principle behind the movement of the fighters in LW,
but when it comes to "real" liquid, I'm a bit puzzled. I don't
understand how refrigerators works, either.


I'm all out of internet time now, so, have a nice day.
