	Beach balls are craters.  They don't affect the game at all.  They
are just there as background.
	There are three different types of wall (they all look the same):
regular, bouncing, and phantom.  Regular walls absorb bullets and kill you
if you run into them.  Bouncing walls reflect both bullets and you.
Phantom walls (on higher levels) aren't really there.  Bullets and your
ship pass through the walls.
