The swiping bugs i've found and fixed. Side swiping only affected the 4x4, and up swipe only affecte 5x5.
But I still can't find the start up restart bug.
I've looked at the files but no luck. The 2 extra files are graphics for the black and white indicator blocks.
I'm running debug tools but it's needle in a hay stack.
i've once looked into the abyss called "lua" and ran away crying, but it looks you really like it... i'm certain you'll find the one line/parameter comparing working/non-working versions. don't give up, this mod is too good!
by the by, have you seen this? looks like htc is thinking in the same direction, although it's way behind what you did.
