fixedA lot of refactoring has been done (improving the game code). Several bugs have also been fixed (not critical, but still).
addedAlthough this is not yet available to players, the solver and generator for the level editor have finally been implemented! They allow us to significantly speed up the creation of new, not too large levels.
