Balls, a Billes clone

Balls is similar to Billes by cassiope01, but it does not have those appealing graphics, nor does it give you a hint about your next possible move.
It does not check, if there are any moves left either, but you can localize the text of the window using different language files.
It uses the 3D ball drawing routine of tsh73.
Currently English and German language files are included, if you like to share your language file, please attach the ZIP archive containing it to your reply to this thread.

Russian language file

Russian language file.
Russian does not shows in texteditor unless "MS Office fonts" is selected.
Also I named it "Shariki" (that means "small balls") because "Spheres" sounds too dry and math-like to be fun. Besides there no second meaning in "balls" in Russian
