Ooo, very cool, I hadn't seen that editor before. Or if I did, my
brain pushed it out to make room for something else. A web-based
editor that would pretty much allow everyone to participate would be
nice, even if you can't "paint" with it by dragging the mouse around to
place blocks. Most (all?) of the standalone editors that have been
written so far are Windows based, which naturally excludes Mac and
Linux users.

Well, I have several Linux servers at my disposal, will dasm work on
them? If so, I can set you up with some space quickly. :)

Ahhh, I hadn't even thought about the "proving a level is solvable"
aspect, I guess that's somewhat important!
