Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it :)

I think it would be best to let poeple use their desired graphics
editor (I used paint shop pro and tile studio). I don't really see
the point in writing a new one.. heck, poeple could even write their
own, as long as they save the picture files as a PNG... I'll write
more info on that in the readme file in the next release.

As for the special case rooms (foot room, tribbles, outlet, rocket
room etc.), you can't actually edit those but, each room has a
switch block available, which can give some new ideas for the
gameplay if you mess about with them.

Cheers,

Dan.
