Maps, I mean, themes

I recently gave WOP an other try last week, and found out it had
matured to an awesome game with incredible potential. I showed it to a
few friends and now we play it at work during lunch break. :)
However, one guy had a revealing comment the first time he saw the game
: "Isn't there a texture problem here?" (looking at the sparse theme).
No, there wasn't. But it highlighted the fact that there are very few
theme right now, and that they're a bit simplistic.
So I had a look a this theme configuration, and tried to quickly make a
new one - which I did, and it has a cow in it :p. Here are my comments
about the themes in this game :
- Perhaps it would be better to not have a central themes.conf, and
have WOP to scan for subdirectories of "themes". All of the sparse1
theme would be contained in the "themes/sparse1" directory, with no
external references. This would allow people to easily design themes
and upload them to, say, the official WOP Wiki theme repository for
rating and download b other players.
- Is it possible to restrict the random appearance of rocks to a
certain zone? Say, I only want random rocks at the bottom of my screen
? I couldn't find an option to do that.
- Static gun is buggy. If I set it at position X, Y, it will appear at
position X, X.
Being a dev, I'd be glad to contribute to the game, and implement these
ideas myself. Could I get a CVS write access somewhere?
Cheers, and thanks for this great game ! =)
