A Robot's Conundrum
===================
A Robot's Conundrum is a puzzling game. It has puzzles to solve, but it's up to
you to figure out how to solve them.
You control a robot with the arrow keys and the space key.

Notes
=====
Dangerous randomness in rolling boulder puzzle
----------------------------------------------
There is a puzzle about a rolling boulder in level 1. It's not guaranteed to be
solvable, because you might not be able to move an arrow block to the position
you need to move it to. However, this scenario is so unlikely that we have
chosen to ignore it.
Lack of code niceness
---------------------
The code works but is a bit messy.
Lack of efficiency
------------------
The code could certainly be more effective.
