Added “splode()” method to ruby. Now, whenever you are hit by the bull or the bug, rubies will “splode” out of you, gone forever off of the bottom edge of the screen…

Last night at a party, Art pointed out to me that I was set to open source my littleGame (chomperStomper) today. Until last night, I had completely forgotten I was supposed to have it ready to go by today. I mean, I don’t even have it on Google’s Gadgets directory yet. I don’t think that’s any excuse though. I’ve been putting it off because I can’t decide on a license. I finally decided to use the MIT License with a few changes. See the license below:
