Subject: Lifts-patch for JSW I
I have resumed work on my patch to allow JSW I to have JSW-II-style
vertical lifts, and Erix1-mode-style horizontal lifts.
The latest beta-revision fixes the following bugs from the 14th
February 2006 revision:
* Each room can now have more than one lift, and I've expanded the
demo-game to illustrate this.
* It is no longer possible to fall off, or jump over, a lift such
that Willy's pixel-row becomes misaligned, causing him to fall
through platforms (as in the superjump-bug).
* Willy can now jump left or right onto a vertical lift without
dying (most of the time).
The patch is still not stable enough for earnest use - I still need
to get Willy moving smoothly on vertical lifts, and to fix the row-
matching logic. The data-format of the lifts is not expected to
change, however.

P.S. The "big, important thing" fell through today, which means that
I can devote much more time to MM/JSW now. Expect the next update of
my website in about a week...
P.P.S. LENA v MARGO looks impressive at first glance - certainly
more than one day's work! I look forward to playing it properly one
day.
