NOTES
**********************************************************

Hiryu is far from finished and still lacks a lot of things.
I do not know if i will continue on the development of Hiryu, maybe
maybe not who knows ?
That was a lot of fun to code and play for the Dragon Shmup Compo :)
I have learnt new things on the way and meet with some fantastic people
on the forums at www.shmup-dev.com and for the moment that is all that
matters to me now...

	Bismillah erahamane erahime.
