HighScore

Here is how the highscore will work. I realized that I still have to work on it some more like putting the chains up there as well. Also I am wondering if you guys think it should be only top 10 highscores or more?

Anyways, just type in your name and a default number will appear by it. Also the php can only hold up to 10 and after it won't show anything for some reason so I have to fix that buggy.

Pop-up instruction screens

Here are the 3 instruction screens for:

+Clearing the closets
+Collecting bonuses
+Chaining

They close when you hit the "x" on the right. But to make the advanced players at ease the space bar could also close it.






I also stuck in a little suggestion for as to how they would pop-up.
( If it's too late for the beta, we can use it maybe for the final version)
