Wow, a reply :) Thanks for your input!

The levels are made by randomly switching areas of the board, and it's 
you're job to 'undo' what was done to it. Each level *can* be beaten, 
but if you get off on the wrong foot, so to speak, it can be very 
difficult to fix it.

Well, I capped the fps at 100, so that's good.

I've never heard of a 512x512 screen resolution on *any* monitor/video card.

The game library I use lets you alt+enter for full screen as a default, 
so that's why there is an error. It won't switch to a nonexistent screen 
resolution. I've never had any luck switching back-and-forth between 
(regular) modes, so that's why I made the screen an odd size. To prevent 
the user from potentially crashing the game. It may just be an issue 
with target layers; I haven't tried testing a game without them yet.

If I see that enough people like the game, I'll add support for a full 
screen mode, and maybe even allow the high scores to be kept.
