Hey Felipe
This is the most awesome thing I have seen in a very long time!!!
I would like to help with your project in any way I can. I am a bit
short of cash right now but I can pledge $50 for a prize.
If there is any way you could post a tutorial on this I would love to
see it!
Unlike you, English is my first language. However I still feel like I am
still studying it, so I guess this makes me EFL, instead of ESL!
Having said this, I think the message should read:
"game will be ready to play once this messages DisappearS, disappears
with an "S".
Es muy Bueno!!
Good job!
