Its interesting that you say "algorithm of always choosing the worst
possible piece at any given time"-- it just randomly selects a block! What's
interesting is some other people have said similar things.

I will change the backgrounds to JPGs. I agree that 4-5MB downloads for a
***ris game are unconscionable.
