that's the little extra that makes it really good :)

among other things, I'm working on the shield bonus and just finished the 
animation for destroying blocks. I think you'll like it.
btw. in arenas with holes in the ground or without walls at the edge, the 
player will fall into the deep now :)

I also read it. it's great that the people like it.

there is something, but not now. I plan to redo the explosion with some 
animation and therefore the explosion graphics might need some modification. I 
have to do the coding first and then you could do some polish on the graphics 
side :)
btw, today I will commit the code for the block destruction animation and 
therefore I needed another a highlighted arena_block, so I just took the 
current one and brightened up the colors. after it's committed, please have a 
look at it and tell me if you are ok with it.

I'll add the following to the documentation the next days, but it you don't 
want to wait for it, this are the symbols for the map

'=' for wall
'_' for a hole
' ' for ground (just noticed that the hole and ground symbols make more sense 
if they are swapped, so I will do it today or tomorrow)
'+' for a block
'x' will randomly create a block or a ground
'o' for bomb trap/mortar ... I really have to rename this
'-' for ice
'u' for arrow up
'r' for arrow right
'd' for arrow down
'l' for arrow left
'p' for player position

have fun :)
