Block Miners

Ok. Maybe it was just the movement animation, or maybe it was just my imagination, but it looked weird when the miners moved off the screen. It had a "that miner's not coming back" look to it, but I guess it was my imagination.

They do fall, but they land on the next block.

I can add a status bar to the map window. Easy fix.

I can also add a button somewhere on the hud to surrender.

As for miners.
See the numbers on screen? Each of those numbers corresponds to a miner. You can click on the number to select that miner, and double click to center the map on said miner. (The color of the number represents the miners actions too, it's all in the help files)
If you cannot click on a miner because another is in front of it, use the numbers instead.

Also, the miners never fell out of the bottom of the map. You can simply move the map around if you want to, currently the controls for it are WASD, but I am considering making it so simply moving the mouse to the edge of the screen also moves the map.
Naturally, double clicking on a number moves the screen to where ever the miner is.

Because the game is single player only I have no idea what its like. if you can't make AI you should figure out some way to make a single player mode. It could be a race against the clock kind of thing.
