Well, the wind is blowing ;)
Those classes have attributes like 'moving' and 'penetrable', so the air
probably won't move while Creature()'s do.

Well, I already had differen modules, because the Air, Wall, Creature and
Human instances were in a different module, with a class hierarchy.

Yes, that's true. I have not reached that point yet in my road
to learn programming with threads, but I now know it is possible.
I am planning do develop it much but not in the next couple of
months; I'd prefer to do my high school exams this summer ;)

Gerrit.
