Bug#522861: gravitywars: start-on-level passwords are reverse-case-sensitive

[Steve Cotton]

Package: gravitywars
Version: 1.102-31
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The man page lists a command-line option:

  level-code
     You’ll receive this code after you complete a level, and can use it to
     warp directly to that level when the game starts.

Complete the first level, and at the start of the second level there's a
password in the status bar at the top of the screen.  Put it on the command
line and it's supported to start on the second level

BUG: it's a bad variation of case-sensitive.  In the game, it's displayed in
upper-case, but it will only be accepted on the command-line in lower-case.


While I think it would be better to replace this entirely with in-game
options (such as saving the players progress, and in-game choice of starting
level from those already reached), the attached patch will at least make
upper-case work.

(Patch applies on top of the joystick patch; I'm about to suggest that that
code should be cleaned up.)
