I am trying to get permission to make it an official release.
Still waiting reply, so development is a bit low at the moment.

Well,

it looks like an official release will not be possible.
However I will finish the game.

At the moment I have solved a levelbug.
The levels don't have all 15 lines. Level 63 had only 14 lines. I added a line so it will load correctly.

Next to do enemymovement.

So after picking up again I knew I had to add enemy-movement.

I already coded the player-movement with the idea that it should be used by the enemies as well.
That was the theory. In practice it wasn’t so easy, but I have it working now with random steps for the enemies.

Next thing is adding AI for the enemies.

The movement in 1 routine of enemies and player failed and the error was hard to find.
Making a copy especially for enemies does work.
Now the AI for the enemies must be added....
