Code Name: Bumpers.

This started out as a bumper cars simulation game. It quickly morphed into a bumper boats game. We ambitiously wanted to try cocos2d, but none of us had seen it before Tuesday afternoon. In our beautiful simulation, bumper boats are rendered as donuts (yes!) and stars on a watery background. Most donuts just move randomly around, like the old-fashioned bumper cars at amusement parks. You "drive" the pink donut with the accelerometer, and manouever around island obstacles and other donuts. Hitting the red donut grows your player's size, blue shrinks it. Collect points by colliding with all the yellow stars.
