The Shooting Gallery Game
As the title indicates, Shooting Gallery is a very simple shooting gallery game. I created it mostly to show
the concept of controlling multiple items with a single timer, to show similar objects moving at different
speeds, and to show one simple way to resolve collision detection (which means detecting when one
