OK. There's a new JSWED 2.2.4 uploaded which has a quick-and-dirty
screenshot utility added. To use it, go to the room editor and press
F8. It will emit one .PNG file for each room in the game.

If I were to contribute to the development of the future versions of
the /ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT/ tool that JSWED is, I'd like to mention
the /only/ problem I've had with it. The problem is that while
choosing the sprite for a guardian or changing it, sometimes the
program window just disappears

I suspect this is something to do with drawing outside the visible
area of the screen. I've tried to add a few guards against it, but I
don't know how successful they'll be.

Also, I believe that the ability to apply arbitrary POKEs, which
Andrew mentioned back in January, would be a useful feature, too.

If JSWED 2.3.0 ever gets released, that'll be in it.
