Possible future improvements:

Make the applet independent of the browser window. The current version of the game terminates when the browser is used to go from the page with the start button. I have not yet manage to figure out how to solve this problem. Suggestions from other Java programmers are welcome!
Highscore record - requires a major rewrite to make the game run on a server instead of being an applet.
Play against other human players over the net - requires a major rewrite to make the game run on a server instead of being an applet.
