Week #9 update

Quark Robot -

All platform downloads (Windows, Linux and macOS) have been updated. There were two reasons for this; an issue with scoreboards that caused the game to crash and a couple of minor bugs that made some puzzles unsolvable.

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!
