Code:
-----

Well, I tried to put up some percentages to have a better view of who
/really/ coded what. And I sorted the list.


Yoann Padioleau, <ypadiole@ens.insa-rennes.fr>, 	70% engine, 90% file handling, 95% tools (configure...), 10% gui
Guillaume Cottenceau, <gcottenc@altern.org>, 		85% gui, 30% engine, 5% tools
Pascal Garcia, <pgarcia@ens.insa-rennes.fr>, 		100% hexagonal algorithms
Gaetan Le Guelvouit, <gaetan@mail.dotcom.com>, 		design
Yacine Zemali, <yzemali@ens.insa-rennes.fr>, 		5% gui
Sebastien Crunchant, <scruncha@ens.insa-rennes.fr>, 	7% file handling
Xavier Michard, <xmichard@ens.insa-rennes.fr>. 		3% file handling

Is that 100%? Yep, allright. Let's proceed.



Underlying physical theory
--------------------------

Dr. Dominique Deserable, <dominique.deserable@insa-rennes.fr>

His work on granular media has led him to a Ph. D. thesis in 1998.
