----- Description
When I was a bit smaller I had a solid plastic maze with a
see-through cover and inside a couple steel balls and holes.
The idea was to turn and twist and shake the maze until all
balls were in the holes. Then you could try to do it again.

That was one of the most irritating and frustrating games I
can remember. I could spend hours trying to get those shiny
little balls into non-existing holes without success. First
you got one ball in a hole, but when you had manoeuvred the
second ball close to its destination the first one was at the
other side of the maze. And there were five balls.

The worst part was when you had all balls at the very edges
of their holes, but no matter what you tried you never got
all balls into holes at the same time. Can't remember why I
played with that plastic maze at all..

Well, I'm happy to say that now you can enjoy the irritation
and frustration also on Avigo with "Loose Beans"! The gray
empty boxes are "holes" and the black dots are "balls"  - or
in this case "pots" and "beans". It's more fun to play with
food.

You move the beans by clicking anywhere on the playing area.
It is divided into four (4) invisible triangles that connect
at the centre:

               menubar
               +----+
               !\  /!
               ! \/ !
               ! /\ !
               !/  \!
               +----+

- click inside top    triangle moves all beans upwards
- click inside left   triangle moves all beans leftwards
- click inside bottom triangle moves all beans downwards
- click inside right  triangle moves all beans rightwards
