Hatman is Copyright © June 1997 - 1999 by James Pharaoh and Timothy Fisken. Read COPYING, you'll feel better for it. COPYING is, BTW, the GNU General Public licence, so you can read that instead if you prefer.
Well, Hatman was originally designed and written by James Pharaoh and Tim Fisken, very eary one Januray 1st 1997...
All the code in Hatman is our own, although some of it may bare a strong resemblance to other peoples. We have not lifted other peoples code, but we may have been ``inspired'' by it. If you want to complain, email the mailing list (see above).
All the sprites are our own, too. And very nice they are too, if I do say so myself.
The one thing we have gratuitously ripped of is the background picture. That is a sample picture from the POV-Ray package, created by Ville Saari and Copyright © 1991 Ferry Island Pixelboys. Or so it says. We added a nice hat, of course. You can get POV-ray from ftp://alfred.ccs.carlton.ca/pub/pov-ray Cheers to Ville Saari, by the way. It's a great picture.
Finally, we think you may have heard of a small company called Atari. They wrote some pish game called Pacman a few years back. Nicking our ideas eh? Ah well, that's they way the world is.
