Amends and expansions

Making a few tweaks to the code for the search in the game, so that users will be able to search even if their pockets are full, they just can't take anything.

An extra bit will be needed to click on events when they occur to interact with them, so highspeed clicking through the beach won't get you anything (currently it gives you a good chance of only missing curios).

Regarding the Smashwords tools, animation is still the most requested item. We still don't have a Flash dev onboard, so we are looking at options. The php option is not currently on the table as our server doesn't support it, but the java dev says he can create a standalone app that will generate animated gifs for users to download and save. With Java we timed it - the app takes 2 seconds, but the plugin that supports it takes 20. While this is a problem for an e-reader, for a banner generation app it might be less of one.
