[Squeakland] spiral

[Phil Firsenbaum]

If you looked at the script, I have a test which looks to see when 
Birdie's y coordinate is < 100. When it is the script is paused and the 
drawing of the spiral stops.
In the running of the project Birdie begins in the center of the screen 
where its y coordinate is 390. As it moves out from the center y gets 
larger when it moves towards the top of the screen and smaller when it 
moves towards the bottom. I arbitrarily chose to look at the value of y 
when it's approaching the bottom of the screen.

Of course, there are other approaches one could take to stop the 
spiral...
