Issues fixed

Buggy mouse

Occasionally in puzzles you will need to "push" items with the mouse. Sometimes this can seem too fiddly or just plain buggy.

Change to 60% window size^{[citation needed]}

Adobe AIR won't install (Linux)

Create symbolic links for Gnome keyring^{[citation needed]}

Open the Linux terminal
Create symbolic links for gnome Keyring with these commands:
1. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
2. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
If you have a 32-bit computer use these commands instead:
1. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
2. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
Install Adobe AIR
Remove the symbolic links with these commands:
1. sudo rm /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
2. sudo rm /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
