Good idea :) I was thinking about dual-touch but I didn't like
my ideas, so I am going to develop your idea if there is not
another bettter ;-)

Yeah, we would like more size eh? :) But when I work with scroll
and bigger sizes the game is not fluent :( 
I started with a smaller size and I after some improvements in the
code I got the current size.. I am not sure if I will be able 
to have nice scroll with bigger sizes, but I will my best ;-)
(we already know the problems with graphics there).

Moreover I could avoid the scroll using the whole screen but
I like the scroll because the game loses action if the table
is fixed and only the ball is moving.

Thanks for your feedback, 

Rafa
