DESCRIPTION

       Trackballs  is  a  simple  game similar to the classic Atari 1980's arcade game 'Marble Madness' (later released by Electronic Arts for the
       Amiga and other platforms).

       By steering a marble ball through a labyrinth filled with vicious hammers, pools of acid and other obstacles the  player  collects  points.
       When the ball reaches the destination it continues to the next, more difficult track - unless the time runs out.

       It  should  be  noted that this game is _not_ intended to be a replica of Marble Madness but rather merely inspired by it. For instance the
       game uses 3D graphics even though the original game had no real use for it. Also we aim at making the game highly configurable by a script-
       ing extension (Guile) and provide a simple editor by which new levels easily can be created.
