Simulator Handling
------------------
Please keep in mind that the simulator is NOT an emulator. All it does is
compile the source to a native host application so you can step through your
C-Code. The GUI thread reads the simulated frame buffer every 40ms and draws its
contents.
Joystick directions are simulated by the WASD keys and SPACE acts as the fire
button. The OpenGL based simulator (Linux/FreeBSD) enables you to adjust the
viewing angle of the LED matrix via the arrow keys (not available on Windows).
