Stop Killing Each Other!
------------------------

Description:
------------
A short game where, rather than kiling everything in sight, you have to stop
people killing each other by building walls to block their bullets.

How to Play:
------------
Basically, you want to drop bricks in the path of any bullets fired from either
side.  You can only carry two bricks at a time, and when you drop them you'll
have to go to one of the two brick piles to pick up more.

On either side of you are a number of civilians, and a number of fighters.
Fighters are distinguished by their red angry eyes.  Every person in the game
is a member of a family, and their actions are determined by what happens to
their family members.  If a member of their family is killed, there is a chance
that they will become a fighter, and start attacking the other side.  If a
family member is saved by one of your bricks though, there is a chance that
fighters will become civilians, and civilians will join you in the middle,
trying to stop the war.

The game ends when there are no more fighters.  The faster you stop the war, the
higher your score.
