thought that JSW64 already supported lifts! But your guardians will
still kill the player if he uses any of the quirky features that
pertain to walking or jumping through walls.
I plan to have a go at implementing horizontal and vertical lifts
for Afrikaan. My basic idea is to have special guardians that are
drawn BEFORE Willy so that /he/ will collide with /them/ as though
they were floor-blocks, as opposed to /them/ colliding with /him/.
The most challenging aspect should be getting the vertical lifts to
carry Willy smoothly up and down à la JSW II...
