Hi,

I tried Pingus 0.6 a while back - it starts to look & feel pretty polished.

While at it, I also tested a few WIP levels and found that commenting them 
would be a lot nicer if only there was some decent comment management tool. 
So, as a contribution to the project, I wrote one.

There's a demo running at...

    http://elonen.iki.fi/pingus/

...and the source code is at...

    http://elonen.iki.fi/pingus/pingus-feedback.tgz

Some notes:

 + written in PHP 4.2
 + uses the file system and XML files, not a database
 + uses a slightly modified format for the comments
   - one file per comment & level
   - added 'date' and 'levelmd5'
 + compares the md5 sum of the current level file with
   sums stored in the comment files and shows which
   comments refer to an old version
 + "Comment this level" button in the game or the editor could
   launch a web browser with a URL in the following format:
   http://URL/index.php?c=<cathegory>&l=<level>&levelmd5=<md5sum>

It would be nice to have screenshots of the levels on the pages. Could someone 
implement a startup option that would make Pingus just render given level, 
write the result to a PNG file and exit?

- Jarno
