This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.1, heck I dunno. What more do you guys want?

SOME pages on my site might not validate. I try to be vigilant about
this though, fixing things where I spot them.

The map's a 400KB jpeg and there's 4 of them. I'd be very much surprised
if you got it in a 100K flash file.

You know what the cool part is though. You can write a flash front-end
to the same server-application. Yes, you can make the flash version to
this game, using the very same server and play against people using the
DHTML version. That's the nice thing about this whole AJAX business.
