It'd better! 8-) In YaBoing II the game can continue even when the window is inactive. When the window is active, every click of any mouse button simply toggles the game play. Thus you can also move the window around while the game is paused --- Something you couldn't do in the original. Something else that's different is that the sprites will keep on moving at a rate given by pixels/second rather than pixels/game tick. Thus when the system is heavily loaded the sprites will "jump" around rather than slowly and jerkily float around as in YaBoing! (which made them real easy targets).
