Week #23 update 2016

This week appears rather light on but don't worry - 99% of my time was spent working on LAN which is coming along very nicely.

A name in parenthesis and in bold is the finder of the bug/quirk. Thanks to all, I really do appreciate your time and support. Cheers!

fixed bug that prevented blocks blasted by a bomb from restoring at the same time
fixed tool drop bug

I've not noticed this until now but I'm sure others fans must have: what happens when you drop a tool when in front of a buried ladder? It hides - in both the Original and this rewrite. You can still pick it up but you can't see it. If you look at a normal ladder you can see it is because tools drop behind them. However, when dropping tools on hidey-holes or exits the tool goes in front. I've done the same since it doesn't really make sense how the tool somehow gets behind the ladder.

fixed wrong slot being selected when open or closed
clients are now updated when the host toggles the number of gamers who can join
host's display name changes colour to match ready state when puzzle transfer is initiated
in-game chat box updated to make it easier to read

Gameplay is well underway. Currently, you can move about and collect gold and tools. I'm on track for completed LAN in the upcoming end-of-month build.
