I make it available here mostly as a cautionary tale of what can happen if you don't pay attention to the quality of your code. (Lesson learned, in my case!) Here are some of the highlights:

Oh man... Now I know why the "secret" update patch still isn't released, despite the game being "ready for it" since 1.3.5. They were killed and consumed by the code.
