Nope, it's the "starting square" indicator.. it's relocated only when you
click on the "Starting Location/Assign" button and then on a square...!
Or at least it should.. maybe it didn't work for you?

I'm not completely sure it will be easier than clicking on the actual
squares.. well, maybe :)
I agree it will ensure it's solvable! But <lazy mode>if we, as you
suggested, make the creation of a winning path a condition for submitting,
even with the current method there are in my opinion good chances that the
path will also be a valid one</lazy mode>...
But I'll think of a way of doing a "record path" :))

Yes it is! The key to solving it is that, in this level, you don't have to
clear *all* the tiles! You can leave 2 on the board (always check the
remaining tiles), and this makes the level possible to solve :)

I too would like to avoid an install.. I agree it somehow could give a
"professional" look to a software, but will also discourage some to using
it! (I know I would be :))
So I will keep it as an exe/zip :)

Cool! I was waiting for some feedback on it before continuing, since I'm not
that good of a musician (actually, remove "that good of") ;)

I'd like to release my "VCSTracker" soon, maybe it will be of some help to
you?
Thanks for the comments and ciao!
