Week #5 update

I'm pleased to report that only a few bugs were found in the first C# build! Most of them were down to insufficient testing on my part. I've uploaded the downloads again so if you downloaded the February build before today, it is well worth getting a fresh copy.

Thanks to Timothy for letting me know the game runs well on Debian. Here are all the platforms the game has been played on;

Windows; 7, 8, 8.1, 10

Mac OS X; Mountain Lion, Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra

Linux; Debian, Ubuntu, Mint

A name in parenthesis and in bold is the finder of the bug/quirk. Thanks to all, I really do appreciate your time and support. Cheers!
