masterrob213: you seem to be very new to the *nix world .. you don't need to restart your computer. For one thing you could just pass "-t" to your binary to make it use a windowed-mode instead of fullscreen. But even if it's "hiding" your desktop - you still have (at least 5) consoles. Press Ctrl+Alt+[F1..F5] to get to one of them - login (as the same user running AC) - then do a
Find the proper line and PID (process identifier) (2nd column) describing the AC process and then do (example, numbers will be different for you):
Once that process has been killed you can return to your desktop - depending on OS this is at Ctrl+Alt+ F6 or F7, or maybe even F8. Sometimes the resolution may have been botched, and often the mouse will be unresponsive - this is either fixed by a run-and-quit of a cube-engine .. or indeed by a restart - but it'd be enough to restart your X-session. On Gnome the system-menu can be reached via Alt+F1 .. then use your keyboard to get to a logout button - you might have direct access to some restart/logout/..-options by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del .. it depends on which OS/screenmanager (and version thereof) you're running. Learn to use your box, that's what makes *nix so different from Windows - it's documented and fully-configurable .. not a blackbox-system that gives you empty error-messages and no way to cure stuff other than rebooting :-P
