Summary0012592: png files are not optimized
Description
The art files are a little larger than they need to be. You can use a program called optipng to reduce their size. (It tries slightly different compression options.)

On Linux you can run this command:

   sudo apt-get install optipng
   find . -iname "*.png" -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1 -P 4 optipng -o7

On a typical system it will probably take a few hours to run. I suggest running it overnight. I tried it (on a copy of the game in a safe place) and the total size of all the game's graphics was reduced from 80 MB to 76 MB.

Yes, I know. I have a program called PNGOutWin that does it as well. But this only affects disk space, and does not affect it much. The actual in-memory version of the images is uncompressed anyhow, so compression on the PNG makes no difference whatsoever in the game itself.
