Post competition update: LAWN: Terror From The Green 1.5

I finally had time to create a post-competition edition of the game. Thank you for discussing the faults of the game — I think it is better for it now.

What has been changed?

• Bugs have been fixed.
• Control is always accepted and animations are queued. This means that pressing left twice and then up will make the current kid go two squares left and one up no matter if you wait between the keypresses or not. This indeed makes the controls feel more responsive, and all I had to do for this was delete two lines...
• Turning is instaneous and implicit in easy mode. Press up to move up, press left to move left.
• If an old man or dog hears something, an ear icon appears above their head. Hover over them to see what has got their attention.
• If there is only one possible destination, passing takes just one click.
• Or alternatively K can be pressed to kick.
• Press SHIFT-R to restart the mission.
• Transitions, PDF documentation and a couple more cosmetic changes.
