Hi

There should be some number of "lives", I think. For single player you
shouldn't go to the next level unless the current one is done
(whatever that means), but for multiplayer dogfight I think that we
can change level after some number of deaths.

Yes, the description.txt was added before we had the settings file. I
should add support for multiline strings in the interpreter, as far as
I remember they are not supported right now.
