you could just name it granatier and I will set it to the default. do you have svn access?

the wall is great. I absolutely love it.
I think the ground is a little bit distracting. have you thought of something more subtle?
maybe something like marble with small crannies?
at first I was also not sure about the blocks, but now I think they are also quite good.
the reason I was not sure, is the number of bricks. have you thought to reduce them?
another idea I recently had, is to make it look like a wooden box. but I'm not sure if it looks good.

I look forward to see it.

well, I had the same problem. it's seems to be a problem with KSVGRenderer, because it was the same problem with the preview in dolphin.
it seems that some parts from the SVG are not shown, but after I redid the part that was omitted it was suddenly there. really strange.

yes, there's a new feature. there are now rounds and after the time expires bombs are placed at random places.
this could also become a single player mode. you have to keep alive as long as possible :)
it is now also possible to import clanbomber maps.
