IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
	Space snooker is a game for Gods: you have to push a planet in a blackhole, like in a classical snooker.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
(sorry for my bad english, it is'nt my mother tongue)

	The cue is made with a cone which has a wood-like texture, and a cylinder with a white-and-blue gradient.
Both planets are made of two spheres: the first for the ground, the second, quite bigger, for the clouds. I added two area lights which illuminate the scene.
	The blackhole and the background starfield are made with the "galaxy.*" files. (the blackhole is a shape of spiral galaxy with a negative color in the center, so we can't see the stars behind it)

	for french speaking people:

	La queue est faite d'un cne avec une texture de bois, et d'un cylindre avec un driv du blanc vers le bleu.
Les deux plantes sont composes chacune de deux spheres: la premire pour le sol, la seconde, un peu plus grosse, pour les nuages. J'ai ajout deux "area lights" (difficile  traduire en francais...) qui illuminent la scne.
	Le trou noir et les toiles en arrire-plan sont faites  l'aide des fichiers "galaxy.*". (le trou noir est fait d'une galaxie spirale, avec une couleur ngative au centre, ainsi on ne voit pas les toiles derrire)
