UI Progress

Been working long and hard the last two days. There's been many intermediate builds, but this is officially enough work to warrant a new numeral. Welcome, Build 13!

• You are now signed in as the user "Anonymous" by default. He's a poor chump and isn't registered.
• Unregistered users can't use the level editor.
• You can now sign up for an account - anyone who signs up during the beta period is "registered"
• Log into your account once signed up (to login, don't type an email address). Sign-in information is stored in a cookie.
• Lost password doesn't actually send an email yet, but the UI and DB functionality is all in place.
• The login fields will disappear on confirmation eventually, but until I get a status/response window up and running I just overwrite some text fields.
• Press-and-hold spacebar is once again the word of the day instead of press-to-toggle (for slow-time)
• I and O are two new zoom in and out buttons, to aid those that don't have a working mousewheel for zoom.
• Level views and victories are recorded in the database now, to aid in determining difficulty and/or quality factor of the level.
• I've added a back-end to receive level ratings.
• Levels are now saved and credited to the user who created them (now that you must login to edit). Any levels saved before Level #186 remain uncredited, but can be manually adjusted if you feel it's important - drop me a line.
• Levels record the originating level # to the database to help let people know if a level has been "copied" from another.
• Levels have an "edit locking" flag to prevent others from editing it (no UI for this yet)
• Many updates to the Editor UI and help menus.
• New Gravity-Selector tool doesn't actually work yet, but it looks cool!
• New death animation and sound effect. It's a little borked in this release but at least it exists!
• Users themselves now have a ranking that is calculated as an aggregate of all their level ranking scores (again no UI for this yet)
• A bunch of database optimizations and back-end work.

I feel like a steam-roller today, just plowing over issue after issue. It feels really good.
