It's so weird having code I write mostly from scratch work first try. ^w^

Okay, fixed that. (It was a string I had explicitly skipped before, because I didn't know where it was being used.)

Still lots of work to do before I can move on to something else...

Here's a neat tidbit we found last night:

Each course in Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat (Arcade) has artist credits somewhere on it! Most of these are signed by "SH" (Steve High, credited for Software & Graphics), but a few have other initials on them, including one course which has a completely different style and signature.

I've put up an imgur gallery with all 14 courses and which are signed by which artist here! imgur.com/a/xNErJIJ

It tastes much better than it probably looks!
