What do you think about this? I think changing the maps would be a lot of work, but it is possible. An easier option would be to increase the game speed as a whole instead of just Bob. This can be done by decreasing the number 16 which appears several times in src/game.cpp, as "frameLimit = SDL_GetTicks() + 16;". (It's probably a good idea to change it into a macro as well, or even a variable which can be switched slow/fast with a key.) I just tried setting it to 8, which makes it too fast. Probably 12 is a good value. That way, the original puzzles are automatically working, but you don't have to wait all the time for Bob to reach a place. Thanks, Bas
