Tips
- There is no UNDO feature, so be careful to save your block set regularly -- and possibly under several file names.
- Block animation works on an absolute timer rather than a relative one, meaning that the moment a level begins the clock begins to tick. If a block is set to permanently change to another after 10 ticks, then all instances of that block will change 10 ticks after the level begins, regardless of whether a given instance was visible at the time.
