I found that using two bridges in a V shape is a neat way of getting all 
the pingus into one place. Basher, bomber or something else can then be 
used to get them out.

P.S. I am doing some beta-testing, but I haven't all that much time, so 
this is a quick report on what doesn't work (I'm using slightly outdated 
files, so check the levels out before you move them etc.)
bla.xml and conv.xml are test levels and should be moved to the test 
directory
granit.xml is unfinished
floater-tutorial-grumbel.xml future2-jgoebbert.xml and 
future3-jgoebbert.xml all crash the game.
It would be nice to rename Dentist.xml as dentist.xml to make all levels 
have lower-case names.
README in the levels directory can probably be removed.

This game is really good when it works

P.S.S. Is the contrib section going to have the same layout as it does 
now. If so, it would be nice if someone could implement it, so that 
people like my 12-year-old brother could play a bit.

P.S.S. If you need any English checking for typos, I can do that if I 
have time. I may be able to do some translating into Polish if someone 
gives me instructions on how to do this. I also know a bit of German, 
but probably not enough to do any translations.

P.S.S.S. I downloaded WinCVS, but can't get it to work. I may be able to 
get access to a computer with Linux that's on the internet in the next 
few weeks.

Bye,
