Perhaps there could be a "scroll mode" where the arrows instead of
moving the tank can be used to scroll around the level. Turn it off
to move the tank again. Also note that not being able to play a level
on a previous version is no problem. This is already true, with the
of ice, thin ice, teleporter, rotary mirror, and crystal wall that
were only added since 3.0.
