SplitTrain is now in beta

I finally found some time to create a major update for the game.

The one thing bugging me most was the lack of levels. Although I did not add new levels, I spent a lot of time to implement an in-game level editor, so that players can create their own levels. 

This was possible before, but a) limited to editing the 3 existing levels and b) levels were stored in a very confusing custom format.

The editor still has some quirks, but it is way better then editing text files! :D

I also spent some time polishing the game, here is a (more or less) complete list of the changes since alpha 28:

• Added in-game level editor and level browser
• Added a welcome message and some web links
• Added a game icon and a config screen image
• Added new scenery objects
• Added more information about points and multipliers
• Improved existing track events and scenery objects
• Changed custom level format to more readable json
• Removed the limit of 100 track events and 100 scenery objects
• Removed the necessity of having a track event after the final station
• Did a lot of code refactoring and code cleanup :)

Please note that highscores from the alpha version will not get carried over to the beta version.

There is still a lot on the to-do list, and I hope I can spend some time in the future to add new features!

In the meantime, have fun with the new version. I am looking forward to receiving your feedback.
