It's such a long time since I did anything with it, that I've forgotten my
password (SSH key handles CVS stuff).  Is there any interface which
would mail me my password?

Seems to work nicely. :-)

I guess with this the features we've discussed about will be easier to do?
E.g. being able to chain things for levels where player should first do
one (level specific) thing and only then another or where player control can
be transmitted from one object to another (e.g. from plane to parachute to
dragon)?

I'll try next week to convert the rest of the levels to the new format,
hopefully also bonus parser (used on levels 3 & 4).


What about the plane damage & dying and having multiple players?
This would be needed for making the game playable again... :-/
