1. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fishtank - simulation of a fish tank

The fishtank is a home to two kinds of fishes. The smaller ones are just fooling
around and trying to find something to eat. When they eat some food a new fish
is born. Since they are so small and weak they tend to gather in a fish school.
The bigger ones are predators and therefore are trying to hunt down the smaller
ones. 
You can add food to the tank or even new fishes - so try to create
a balanced ecosystem.
