Eevee (Evelyn Woods) e7e02281a2 Clean up turn-based code 
Mostly style nits, but also:

- Renamed some stuff in anticipation of removing GameEnded.

- Actor decisions are independent, so there's no need to do most of them
  in the first part of a tic and the player in the second part; they can
  all happen together in the second part.

- waiting_for_input was merged into turn_based, which I think makes it
  easier to follow what's going on between tics.  Although I just
  realized it introduces a bug, so, better fix that next.

- The canvas didn't need to know if we were waiting or not if we just
  force the tic offset to 1 while waiting.  This also fixed some slight
  jitter with force floors.

Lexy's Labyrinth

This is a web implementation of a puzzle game that bears a striking similarity to Chip's Challenge and its sequel, but is legally distinct, and also free!

It is a work in progress and also might be abandoned and forgotten at any time.

Play online

Give it a try, I guess! https://c.eev.ee/lexys-labyrinth/
