Hehe... I favor your suggestion since I would like to see at least
2D multiplayer games working first. Plus, I'm very anxious to code
DirectPlay! :) Look for it in Exotica version 2.0!

Ha.. You got me! :) I forgot to test for the alt-tab in the game.
This will be corrected in the next version of Exotica.
Actually, I did a poor mans port of the Donuts game from the
actual DirectX 6.1 SDK sample code. Ofcoarse, I had to touch up
the title screen graphics a little... ;)
