WARNING: This actually features a game-breaking bug which means you can get as far as the first screen, but then it breaks. I cannot fix the bug, nor even locate the source of it, no matter how much I try. If someone could please, please comb through the code and see if they can tell me what it is if not how to fix it, then I will be extremely grateful. There will be a reward of some kind. Repeat: IF YOU CAN FIND THE BUG, I WILL REWARD YOU!
