Subject: Party Willy: third beta-version
Today I playtested the second beta-version of Party Willy Part 1,
completing it with a toilet-time of 02:57. However, I saw fit to
make the following changes:
1. In "The Slippery Slip" [36], you now play as Gliding Willy
instead of the saw.
2. I tweaked "The Security Guard" [5] to eliminate two possible
infinite-death scenarios when jumping up from ""Die Mortal"" [6], by
replacing two wall-blocks to the right of each of the red guards
with floor.

The Security Guard
Formally, the changes are as follows:
50538: 42 -> 22 (floor-blocks above "e " in "The Security Guard")
50541: 42 -> 22 (floor-blocks above "ua" in "The Security Guard")
58605: 181 -> 158 (replace saw with Gliding Willy)
I've also made a few minor typographical corrections to README.TXT,
ROOMS_PART1.TXT and ROOMS_PART2.TXT.
Part 2 is completely unchanged.
I've also included an early version of JSW:MM with no post-editing.
I don't need to be told about the following problems (but feel
free to make suggestions where the solutions are not obvious):
* no way to get from one room to the next;
* all crumbling floor-blocks have been converted to floors,
regardless of the consequences;
* "The Menagerie" [2] kills you on entry because of Willy's start-
position (teleporting will not be enabled in the final version, of
course);
* no Eugene or Kong Beasts yet;
* no gap in the wall in Kong-Beast rooms;
* rogue conveyors in "The Endorian Forest" [9] and "Amoebatrons'
Revenge" [17];
* Skylabs should have animation-mask 000 rather than 011;
* you're trapped after collecting the item under the (non-existent)
portal in "The Sixteenth Cavern" [15];
* vertical guardians crash into floors in "Amoebatrons' Revenge"
[17] and "Solar Power Generator" [18].
I now understand exactly how vertical guardians behave in MM versus
JSW (and will attempt to modify my conversion-algorithm to
accommodate the differences), but this warrants a message of its own
(PTO)...
