Credits

Original source, by bunnyboy, is available here. The only modifications I (@camsaul) made were inclusion of the Makefile, which was adapted from the one included with MagicKit, the text files, which were found in various places in the aforementioned sites and by lots of research/searching on my part, and the addition of the resources list below.
